Dear All, what about linking to any free cloud service for large attachments? Isn't CCP4 7.1 already such a cloud?

I would not be surprised if some of these accounts end up blacklisting repeat offenders - CCP4bb in this case.

Ed, Tim - the 90s called, they want want their disk space and email clients back. As a co-perpertrator of vast volumes of detector data, and religious proponent of text formatting as inseparable part part the message, I disagree that in the year 2021, your suggestion still conforms to netiquette. In case anybody was left with the impression that Tim and Ed's view was universal. frank On 19/07/2021 10:26, Tim Gruene wrote: Hi Ed, dear ccp4bbs I fully support your email! Most email clients have a tick box to include a plain text version in addition of the html-version in their preferences. Reading plain text emails instead of the html-version (which is also an available option for most email clients) is a very effective barrier against spam. People should take this into account, considering the global rise of ransomware attacks, with serious consequences to some large institutions and companies. It has always been good netiquette to at least include a text-version of your email.

Reduce the size of the pictures- The two pictures in yesterday's email appear nice and small in my email client, but still illustrate what is being described. However they are actually 4032x3024 and 2040x1458 pixels, making for rather large emails. All that extra resolution is wasted unless the user opens the image directly ("view image"), and in any case is completely unnecessary for the point being made. I think about 600x600 pixels is plenty for almost anything you want to show in electron density. This does not require manipulation in photoshop or such- just reduce the size of the graphics window and take a screenshot of that window. 2. send the picture as an attachment rather than inline. That way it won't be included in all the replies. Or if the people replying could find some way to exclude pictures or formt the reply as plain-text, that would help. (No, I'm not receiving these emails via 1200 baud modem- but I like to save the messages for future reference. If the trend continues toward high-resolution inline screenshots, that will take a significant amount of disk space. And yes, I know there is an archive.) eab ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/WA-JISC.exe?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1 This message was issued to members of www.jiscmail.ac.uk/CCP4BB<http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/CCP4BB>, a mailing list hosted by www.jiscmail.ac.uk<http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk>, terms & conditions are available at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/policyandsecurity/ ________________________________ To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/WA-JISC.exe?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1 ________________________________ To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/WA-JISC.exe?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1 [https://www.5xmille.org/images/img_01.png]<https://www.5xmille.org/?utm_source=firmamail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5xmille2021> CODICE FISCALE 07636600962 Scopri di più su www.5xmille.org<https://www.5xmille.org/?utm_source=firmamail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5xmille2020> Rispetta l’ambiente: non stampare questa mail se non è necessario.
