		  Very good, Matt! Thank you for doing this. It will make the list a 

lot more useful and multi-media.


	


I think it's a terrible idea.  Before, you could "opt-in" by visiting 

SportFlight or the archives for files that were of interest to you 

and you wouldn't be bothered by those that you didn't care to see. 

Now, you get them all, interested or not--the digest feature is the 

only way to opt-out.  Sure, you can delete ones you don't want, but 

right now my incoming attachments folder has 281 items in it--and 

this is stuff I DO want to look at.



I'm sure many requests were presented for allowing attachments but 

people who were happy without them were not inclined to write in and 

request as much.



I'm thankful that the digest version will not have attachments. 

That's what I'll stick to.

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.

Maybe there could be a email delivery type (HTML or plain text) like the

Yahoo groups have. You could sign up for HTML if you want attachments, or

plain text just like before. I will write to Matt and ask if that is

available.

Another option might be to set the limit for email size on your personal 

email program. That way any larger message (example over 50kb) would 

require a separate download step. Or maybe there is a setting to prevent 

images or other attachments.

 In Mozilla Thunderbird it's under: Tools - Account Settings - Disk Space

  I can set limits for any accounts I may have differently from each 

other. Take a look at your email program settings to see what can be done.

Guys, please keep in mind that a lot of us down here are still on dial up 

systems and are lucky to pull 45kbps. I roughly timed the download on Ricks 

recent email with photo attachments at approx 10 minutes. Great photos and a 

brilliant service but like they say, "Size really does matter", particularly 

when your email is primarily a business tool.

		  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.


	


Now that's an awesome solution!  I can't wait
