Unfortunately some of us have no choice as to our telephone company. Things are
changing here in the UK but BT still have the lion's share of the market. I run
a 56K ISA modem and there's nothing wrong with the telephone lines. It doesn't
matter which ISP one uses here - they all give about the same performance. We
can install an ISDN line but that's very expensive.
I'm therefore stuck with about 4kb/sec download speed which means about 11
minutes to download that actual file.
If anyone knows of a way to set kmail to reject large files I'd be grateful.
I've already accepted that I was a little harsh but, as the rules have now been
changed, it should never (never say never) happen again.
As to posting in html - kmail doesn't really like it.
