Terry is correct. Just keep e-mails with photos under 250K and they will go through. That limit may be a little high; e-mails that large are certainly enough to cause problems for some. For large photos, prepare your e-mail exactly as if it were going to pianotech, then send it instead to: files@ptg.org Mention for which e-mail list the post is intended. Your e-mail will come through to the list with the photos replaced with links.
