Hi Guys,
I have to say that I am with Moose here. Though I like the immediacy
of an image embedded
in an e-mail, the volume of this list really precludes the widespread
use of attachments,
I am not on a bad connection, but I do think that, for anybody not
connecting for 10 days
or so, and then downloading a vast amount of information (even if it's
limited to 40Kb per
attachment) would be a great annoyance.
If we wish to have the immediacy of embedded images, we really should
switch to a 'forum' format, or
just descend like a great black cloud on any of the existing OLympus
forums (on APUG, Photo.net, etc)
and 'take over'. Then one does not have to physically download all
messages, only ones in which one
is interested.
However, I presume this has all been discussed before my time, and
there is clearly a reason why the
mailing list format works for this quirky group of individuals (hey,
I'm part of it!).
So, let's please refrain from using attachments unless it's really
urgent - and 40Kb is too small
for images anyway (would need to be either tiny, or extreme JPEG
compression), so it should
sort itself out naturally, actually.
So, business as usual then...
