That is certainly is an answer, I tend to compress less if I know the
recipient is on a fast connection, but one of the groups I belong to insist
on a maximum fie size of 100K. I shall experiment with several scans of the
same image.... Or get an E-1 with its tiny 15mb images.

100K for an image of 700 pixel in width is not enough, especially for
complex scenes, you will need 150-200K for a better look. I usually use
compression level "9" in PS.
