How would that link be posted? Could it that link be concatenated to
the body of the email with which it belongs. If not, it would be
excessively clunky. Would we have a separate posting from the list's
server for each graphic, telling us somehow which post it belonged
with? I could put up with a double-clickable url such as in your post.
But I wonder why the majority of us who can read these files have to
bend ourselves out of shape for a small minority. After all David
hasn't complained of difficulty with any of the previous attached
graphics. Heck, I've got a mac, and as much as I can tell it's some
obscure pc file format, but both Eudora and Adobe Photoshop open it
right up. May we could take an actual survey. Maybe we just need to
limit attached graphics to the more common formats, say .jpeg or
.bpm. Maybe the server software should be offering individual the
choice of have graphics stay embedded when they're sent that way, or
split off and attached separately.
