X-( NOONE should ever send an enclosure of more than trivial size (10kB?) to anyone without permission. It is an unfriendly act.	Graham L (2)

As I get attachments ~ 5 MB most weeks, its not an unfriendly act for me, its my living. Thats the reason I clear my mail every 60 seconds, as I cant let them sit there in case another comes along. Even though I have a 12 MB mailbox, it rejects anything above about 8 MB due to encoding bloat. Sometimes my clients are kind and will zip them, not often though. I couldnt agree more, re the sending of "domestic" e-mails though. If I have to send an attachment to non work related people, I keep it below about 100 kB unless I have agreed with them beforehand. Its most thoughtless to send large e-mail attachments without invitation. I fail to see how its improved a lot by splitting the file though. Apart from the file being rejected by servers. Its like being asked how many pieces you want the pie cut into, 4 or 8? To which the reply is 4, I couldnt possibly eat 8!	godfather (25)
