A better option might be just around the corner. I'm looking at a method that will strip the enclosures from the email and insert a URL link into the email distribution instead that will point to the Matronics webserver similar to the way the BBS works now. This has many advantages including the fact that the enclosures will be available to the Digest and List Browser viewers as well, the Archives will also include the links, and last but not least, the modem users won't have to suffer through the downloads. I'm hoping to actually integrate the functionality with the existing PhotoShare web site, but it would be fully automated. Stay tuned for more on this implementation hopefully coming soon.

I kinda have to echo your comments Michael. However, my problem is that I
have no choice in my dial up modem. Very slow. I envy those with fast
cable and dsl setups, but none available around here. I'm waiting to see
what happens when some folks start sending photos of their trip to Aunt
Sara's and all in 1meg files. My modem won't be able to handle it. And no,
neither Don nor I knew this was coming.
