I wholeheartedly agree with Robert Forsyth. It was thoughtless to send such a large attachment to the whole list when a bit of thought beforehand could have enabled the sender to have just sent it to its intended recipient. I realise my email access is provided by work and so it doesn't cost me phone charges, etc. but there is still my time. A limited resource which is precious enough as it is without having to hang around for daft attachments to be downloaded. However, it is easy to send unintended messages on occasions. Maybe the sender has now realised the problems caused and will be minded of them when tempted to repeat their mistake.
