It is not actually simple and I hope I can add some clarity to the
problem of email sizes since it causes so much angst.

The problem is that when you EMBED images within the email such as I
have done here (rather than attaching them), the jpg compression which
is applied a second time to the image is chosen by the email program,
not by you. So this email you are reading, which has two roughly 12KB
images in it and should therefore be about 35KB in total (see below),
will actually reach you at much larger than that - about 120KB.
Julian's message was indeed 123 KB when it arrived on my machine, the
two embedded images weighing in at 51KB and 31KB respectively. All of
which seems to me to give even greater weight to Geoffrey's excellent
advice:
...if you are in any doubt about the size of a message, try sending
it to yourself first.
My two-cents' worth.
