Well, I don't really want to get involved in the large e-mail attachment debate but I saw a news item about this the other day. It's supposed to give you like 20M of internet storage - mostly for transfering files. I have no use for it but it _might_ work for something like that. Otherwise I guess you would have to have some kind of permanent ftp or even http storage. For internal "intranet" stuff the ftp thing would work great; most of the companies that I've worked for have limits on e-mail attachments since it causes so much traffic (or something like that).
Regards, G.S. PS - My opinion though is that I _hate_ getting attachments - takes forever to download since I _am_ on a dialup account. --- Hamish Moffatt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tue, Mar 30, 1999 at 08:45:09PM -0800, Steve Lamb > wrote: > > The technology is there to send large files > easily.
