and attached a 56K BMP picture to his message.

    Peter (and anyone else who's thinking of doing something
    similar):

    Please, please, PLEASE don't attach encoded binary files (like
    pictures, etc.) to messages that you send to the PICLIST.

    Sending those attachments is a BAD idea for a number of reasons:

        1.  Many people here aren't interested in the pictures.
        2.  Even if they WANT to see them, a lot of folks can't
            decode the attachments.
        3.  Anyone who receives the digest version of the list will
            have a VERY difficult time with the attachments,
            even if his mail reader DOES support auto-decoding
            of attachments.

Instead of sending attacments to the list, either publish them on a
web page somewhere and just post the URL here, or post a brief
description of the files and offer to send them in PRIVATE e-mail to
anyone who's interested.

Thanks.
