I have been asked to remind subscribers that one of the rules of
the list is that emails sent to it should not exceed 100 kB in
size. The reason for this rule is that some people are
(apparently) still on dial-up internet access and others have very
limited and/or expensive download allowances - this includes
people accessing the list via smartphones, iPads, etc.
An email sent to the list a few days ago included a photo 1 MB in
size, and three other subscribers have re-sent the same photo to
the list.
Pasting a photo inline rather than sending it as an attachment is
one of the principal problems, even when a photo has been reduced in
size. Not only does it greatly increase the size of the mail, but it
also results in the photo being included inline in any replies.
I just did a test by sending a couple of mails to myself, both
containing the same 201Kb image. The mail with the image sent as an
attachment was 268Kb in size in my inbox. The mail with the image
pasted into the text area was 2.1 Mb in size - about eight times as
large.
