The lead on my latest project insists that we use links rather than attaching files. The links are generally windows file shares ... but anyway, if you can get higher-levels to sign on to this kind of policy, it's a good thing, imo. How many times do you receive an emailed attachment that you never bother to open? How many times do you then go and save it just in case? How many times do people send a revision attachment within the next day? Lots of bandwidth and disk space to be saved =) Now if only I could convince the secretary and various others not to send their Outlook emails with seasonal backgrounds (animated, no less!) ... > but the outside world does not need to send/receive attachments ??

I'll admit that the likelihood of getting buy-in from the highest-level muckety-mucks on a no-attachments policy is pretty slim ... and actually, it could be a problem if customers want to send attachments (though I guess you could specify exempted senders) ... -- monique -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
