I, for one, like to think that I can spell PIC, but I still do not accept t=
he
argument about bandwidth limitation.  If MIT server cannot handle extra 2Gb=
,
let's move to another server.  For example, hosting company where I keep my
domain http://beaglerobotics.com, has unlimited bandwidth.  <<1MB limit see=
ms so
1995.

The other problem with large image attachments is that it might clutter ema=
il
boxes.  But that is easily controlled on the level of email client.

Overall, I think that in most cases a large image does not provide a signif=
icant
benefit over a small one, but bandwidth argument is not the right one to us=
