Roger, good to hear from you; thanks
again for your correction on the ‘avionics’. A few points here:
- I
usually send email with Microsoft Outlook, usually – and always if I
include a picture file – in HTML format (could that be a problem for
some recipients?). On both relevant occasions I followed the same
process of ‘insert’, ‘picture’, ‘from
file’.
2
My
pictures are pre-edited to less than 100kb –with predictable loss of
quality, depending on the picture. They are anti-virus scanned before
transmission.
3
I have
noticed no inexplicable increase in a file size since that one occasion we
discussed.

If you
are not getting messages this may be due to your filter settings.
Whenever I check the archive, my messages are always there. If you think you
may be missing messages, you may wish to check the archive.
(Incidentally the signposts to the archive and other contacts seems to have
dropped off recent messages progressively, although I noticed they reappeared
on Terry Gourlay’s of a couple of days ago)
As to Philip’s concerns –
In my original message (which I appreciate
does not help you) I said I would allow a couple of days for mulling. As
to how birds are supposed to hold their wings, I can only say that the bird in
question was a White-necked Heron. It was one of 3 flying away from a
farm dam. By way of a test of the system, I enclose a fuller
sequence. Incidentally the small protuberance below the body (figs 2
& 3) that looks (misleadingly) like a bill is in fact the lower curve of
the heron’s neck, which is extended and bobs up and down when the bird is
in ‘power’ mode (see fig 1).

Answers: the ambiguity of the flying shape
Like Philip I didn't see the questions, only the answers.
In fact i have not got the last three lots of questions
nor
several other postings from Geoffrey
which i can hypothesise the existance of from responses.
I suspect my ISP (bigpond) doesn't like something he is doing.
Geoffrey, is there something different
in the way you insert your pictures in the questions
from the way you insert them in the answers?
Did you ever discover where you increase in e-mail size was coming from
?
