From: "Jones, Dave"
Subject: RE: HTML & Attachments

While I do see the problem with downloading *large* emails (my connection is
possibly one of the slowest on the list) I did think the Dilbert strip was
funny - and not at all large. It encoded at about 25 kb.

On a 36 kb modem it should only take about 6-10 seconds to download, if
people can't or don't know how to view attachments that is a whole other
issue. GIF encoding has been a network standard since Compuserve's heyday
in the mid-80's.

Maybe we need an official ruling from the powers-that-be: are attachments
allowed?

HTML is another issue as well, some people do not use HTML-compliant mail
readers and cannot (easily) comprehend such messages. Again, a ruling is in
order.

A mailserver can (usually) be configured to block attachments and block or
strip HTML, by the way.
It is dependant on the system in use.
