| 538931 | 2007-04-09 01:51:00 | The reason I recommend zipping the files is that each attached file has an overhead increasing the size of the email. I think you would be quite surprised if you used the two methods emailing yourself and comparing the size of each method. | mikebartnz (21) | ||

Zipping an e-mail attachment is one of the most annoying things you can do to someone. Any of my staff caught doing it to a client would be shot on the spot... and the same would happen if they sent a zipped file in an e-mail :annoyed: |

| 538933 | 2007-04-09 02:43:00 | I think mikebartnz is recommending zipping multiple files to be sent as one attachment rather than just one file. | FoxyMX (5) | ||

| 538936 | 2007-04-09 09:27:00 | Thanks, Foxymx, for the prompt to respond to the thread I initiated. In the 38 hours since I started this I have slept a little, worked a little, but had little computer time. Yes, I use up to four signatures for my correspondence and will look at Thunderbird again. Eudora (and I think some others) have a simple drop-down list which makes a different signature two mouse clicks away. I will have to look more at the different accounts system of Thunderbird. Yes, zipping files has been considered. In theory it is many more mouse clicks when saving file size is not needed. I had not previously tried dropping files from Explorer to Eudora and it works a treat - my choice for now. But I obviously need to keep looking, unless some new active group takes up support for Eudora - which I have liked from the outset. |

Where do you work because I never want to make the mistake of working there. |
