Stephen – Thank you for bringing
this up, I have just endured six days of frustration and worry at being unable
to receive email, ringing my server daily to complain. Although they suggested the problem
could be a very large message, I had no idea what to do because I am basically
computer illiterate. So I had to
call on an expert who took my laptop away and hopefully has got me going again
but at a cost of $70 (cheap because he’s a friend) and said if I didn’t
have broadband installed the problem could arise again. He specifically blamed the ‘blind
kookaburra’ attachment (and the latest digital cameras?)

In recent weeks several posts have had very
large attachments. This can create a bit of a problem with low download speeds
and (not for me, fortunately, but others) eating into download quotas.
Does anyone have any thoughts about this? I
don’t want to spoil the enjoyment people get from (e.g.) interesting
photos but at the same time as far as I’m concerned, I would prefer to
have the choice as to whether I download them.
One possibility that I use a bit is
downsizing the definition and file size (e.g. via Microsoft Office Picture
Manager) before I send an image, letting anyone who wants the full file have it
later… Any other ideas out there how we can meet the range of
needs on this one? J
