I second that emotion.
If you're sending attachments to a lot of people, please remember this equation:
(size of attachment) * (number of people sent) = disk space taken up on some poor server somewhere.
for example, 1 x 500kb attachment sent to, say for example, 200 people means 10 meg lost in a spool area
- It only means that the service is degraded for the rest of us -
be -kind- to the system, please.
Roger.
