Hi Peter
May I come in belatedly on this one? Why not print it? Printing attachments
and content would use maximum of 4 sheets of paper if both sides were used,
and it's very likely given the contents are details of seminars, that people
would want to print it to read on trains etc.
Is the size of the electronic document any good indication against printing
when the paper equivalent is so small: printing could even result in
deleting all 4.7 megabites - possibly a worthwhile trade off?
Best wishes
