What essentially you are saying is that everyone is out of step bar you and
that everyone else must conform to your ideas of message display for your convenience. This is a text based newsgroup. Please use text format when accessing it. Not everyone accesses the internet by high speed adsl. Some of us access by expensive dial -up systems, even slow GSM mobile systems. We don't appreciate the extra bandwidth, and we certainly don't want add-ins. If you don't like the rules of the club, don't join it! -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Cynthia wrote: The only place I see really large posts (over 100kb) is in the stationery newsgroups and all of those ARE html format. My post was only 60kb which is rather small by comparison. Would it have made a difference if I zipped the instructions? Since I use OE6 for newsgroups...well.. I remember the problem a year or so ago on ALL of Microsoft's public newsgroups when hackers were sending out those bogus Microsoft update/upgrade scam mails which were virus-infected. Lord knows, I got over 200 a day on my e-mail server, and as a result had to change my e-mail address and password with my ISP! That was the only way to resolve the issue. I was getting automated e-mail from my ISP telling me I had exceeded my quota! Now, I have security in place (not just SP2 for Windows XP) that gives me STEALTH results (testing all ports at Shields Up web site). As for the MS public newsgroups - John Eddy (Microsoft) informed people that no attachments would be allowed in public newsgroups because of it, and that in the OE6 stationery newsgroup, any posts over 100 had to be divided. Because of this, he set up a private newsgroup where there is not this limit. And that's where I post my stationery creations. Mine generally don't go over 260kb insize. I have seen some posts as large as 600kb+ which is ridiculous. I happen to access the Internet via high speed DSL (1.5MBps). Cynthia |

Hard to know what you're *not* saying since you don't quote any of the posts
you're replying to. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne - that last one was not worth quoting, believe me! G I am not of
the opinion "I wear blue suits. Everyone should wear blue suits" mentality. I only stated (in this thread) that I prefer using OE6 for accessing newsgroups because I had too many problems going in from IE and web sites. I have better control here. Especially true of formatting messages. And, as you can plainly see, I _AM_ using plain text.
