These pictures are killing me. Today there was a 4M picture, that's
about 20-25 minutes to download and I don't even want to see it. I can
no longer just get my e-mail but have to go into web mail and delete all
the LARGE files.

Although there should be more discipline on the list it is possible to
configure some mail clients to reject large attachments. For Outlook 2003
the steps are:
1. On the Tools menu, point to Send/Receive, point to Send/Receive Settings,
and then click Define Send/Receive Groups.
2. In the list, click the group that includes the account you want, and then
click Edit.
3. Under Accounts, click the account you want.
4. In the list, select each folder you want to specify limits for, and for
each folder, continue this procedure with step 5.
5. Do one of the following (POP3):
Select one of the following:
- Download item description only Only message headers (message header:
Summary information that you download to your computer to determine whether
to download, copy, or delete the entire message from the server. The header
includes these fields: Subject, From, Received, Importance, Attachment, and
Size.) are retrieved during Send/Receive.
- Download complete item including attachments Message header and content
are downloaded during Send/Receive, including attachments. Select the
Download only item description for items larger than x KB check box, and
then enter a number in the box.
(In some versions of Outlook this only worked if Outlook knew you were
connected over a modem. Using a VPN over a modem or trying to limit
attachment size while on a LAN didn't work. I'm not sure if they have fixed
this.)

Sounds like it might be time to move into the 21st century.  Joking aside, you should be able to configure your email to omit attachments and images, or simply filter any messages above a certain size.
I have to admit, my second biggest complaint about the Zenith post (we won't talk about my biggest complaint on-list) has been the lack of pictures and schematics useful for clarification. Funny that the internet's biggest gathering of Zenith enthusiasts ranks a distant second to the vans list for helpful information. I suppose I shouldn't complain, as I'm too busy to devote any time to a remedy. Anyway, hope the info above was helpful. Just do a quick search on the net for your particular mail client. You should find a fairly simple way to filter larger emails out of your download que.

It is better to place files with long-term value in the "file and photo share" area:
http://www.matronics.com/photoshare/zenith-list.html#Top
Regular attachments are not automatically archived and download from the share area is at a subscriber's discretion.

Please note that the adding of your files to the Photo and File Share Directory is a semi-manual process and will take a few days to become available. A message will be posted to the Email List(s) you indicated in #1 above with a link to the new Photo and File Share when it is available.

If you are using MS Outlook you can just download the headers first and than
decide what you want to delete right off the server and what you want to
download. Since I've been doing this I've noticed a significant drop in
SPAM as a side benefit.
