Well, the Administrator for my universities mail system does not like it when users have a lot of attachments in their mail boxes. Personally, I would rather have a pointer to the info, like say on the web.. I get a LOT of mail from this list alone (I was shocked at how many messages I had today alone. It took me an hour to read through everyone of them!), and my box fills up fast. I am only alotted a certain amount of space for the disk quota of my personal mail box (I think it is 2 mb). However, small text files are no problem, neither are small images. But please, just mention to the list that you have a zip, word, or other large file for us to view and wait for people to ask for them. _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ Time was I stood where thou dost now And view'd the dead as thou dost me Ere long you'll lie as low as I And others stand and gaze at thee
