Re: take pity...

            As one that does not post pictures to this forum, perhaps I can take the liberty of making an observation.

            The notion that everybody on the forum has to conform to the lowest power machine that tunes in is ludicrous. I agree, there are some limits on size but let's exercise limits in both directions. There ought to be an agreeable minimum size. I do post pictures on two other forums and on my web page. My lower limit is 4 x 6 inches at 72 dpi.
            If a person cannot receive these then whose fault is it? There are many ways to boost a person's computer capacity. If a forum like this is important to a person, then they should make the provision necessary so they can enjoy it.
            I'm 83, on a retirement income which, while not munificent, is enough to allow me to make decisions over how I shall dispose of my "amusement" funds. And I must admit, the computer is high on my list.
            I will post a picture here at 4x6 and 72 dpi. It is a bromeliad, Tillandsia deppeana. Perhaps Elia and Cathe would let me know if they have any trouble receiving it.
            I know this is not a message that will receive an outpouring of popular support, but perhaps some consideration of maximum size is in order. I have already suggested my candidate.                                                                               ---Chas---

It would help for viewing if the photos were made smaller before puttting into an e-mail...or in the e-mail---pull the corners to make them smaller.

Subject: take pity...

...on us who are stuck with high-rate dial-up connections. *Please*.
 
Isn't it possible to send images in a smaller format? I don't think that would hinder identification, and it wouldn't clog up one's e-mail.
 
This is such a helpful forum, it's a pity to have to keep deleting messages unread just because they're over 2000kb.
 
Also, I find many are being automatically deleted because my firewall considers the subject heading spammish. Is there some way to identify MediPlant mail as such?
 
Thanks, Eli.
