The reason message size is restricted is purely due to the way mailing lists work and the way that people access the internet. There are ~300 people on the list. A 5 meg file sent to 300 people = a whole lot of bandwidth on the internet when only a subset of people might actually want to see the attachements. When you send an email EVERYONE must download it whether they want it or not. (some email programs let you choose, but most do not). A lot of people on the list are using modems. A 28K modem connection truly struggles to download a large attachment via email. And while it is trying to do that, that persons email is tied up preventing them from accessing email that may be of importance. I restrict the message size to 400K which is a quite reasonable comprimise. Attachments larger than that should be posted on a web site and a link sent out. This is appropriate...everyone gets the link and people can view the materials at their leisure instead of being forced to download them. I provide web space to do this (ercoupers.com), and there are umpteen free places you can upload items onto the internet. ( Check out xdrive.com, http://photos.msn.com/, yahoo.com and a bunch of others.) -Tom ----- Original Message ----- From: "William R.
