files@ptg.org, place tech files on the web at ptg.org

To some of you who get digests with lots of html code and pages of code for
attachments.  Kent Swafford sent me this little tip and it worked like a
charm for me.  (I use Eudora 3.0 for e-mail):

It worked....  I would also add that if your sending a picture file, it's
nice if you can reduce file size before sending.  I do it in Photoshop by
making the image size 5 x 7 then using the "Save for Web" option.  They
will open faster and not put such a "bit burden" on the server etc.... and
the quality is fine for viewing with your browser...

Thanks Kent
