To: John Chadwick listowner, Museum-L Thank you for your kind response to our postings of last week. As our offices were closed on Friday, we only saw your (and many other list members' ) mail this morning. Our apologies for the grave error in posting the attached images--it will not happen in the future! Also, apologies to all museum-l members for the time it took to open these files, and thank you to those who wrote directly to our offices with comments and suggestions. >>> John Chadwick <[log in to unmask]> 10/18/96 06:32am >>> I wanted to send you a polite note although I am sure you are receiving many messages about now. Your recent posting of two announcements for the Getty each contained rather large image attachments. While sending an attachment to a single person may be appropriate, sending such a message to the entire list is not appropriate. Many people have accounts with very strict quotas, and your one e-mail message with an attached image has caused many people to exceed their alloted space. People who must pay toll charges for connecting to dialup accounts must also pay for the extra time it takes to download and process such large image files. As the listowner I must deal with a major increase bounced e-mail messages, eating up valuable time. While sending an announcement of interest to the Museum-L list is appropriate, sending large image files as attachments is inappropriate. Please feel free to continue to post, just refrain from posting images. john chadwick listowner, Museum-L [log in to unmask]
