Re: Leica M6J

[Godfrey DiGiorgi <ramarren@bayarea.net>]

Please, we've been through this before, Please NEVER send binary images 
to the mailing list. Put them on a website, on an ftp server, tell people 
you have them and would like to make them available , etc. NEVER send 
them through the mailing list.

Sending binary files in an attached message to one individual is very 
different from sending them to 120-200 individuals through a mail server. 
It puts an enormous load on the mail server, ruins the digest version of 
the list, and can overflow the mail hosts of subscribers who don't expect 
such a large file. 

Thank you,
Godfrey
