[Evolution] Re: Huge attachments on mailing list (was Re: [Evolution] screenshot: ...)




Hint: when attaching screenshots, use jpg on a low quality setting - the fringes are not going to hurt getting the hint of what is going on.

Second: if you must use png, set it to indexed mode in 16 colours, again, the slight incorrect colouring wont hurt the meaning of the pictures and the file will be much smaller.  Or just paste the text,  I hate clicking on 500KB links for an error message screenshot when a 100 byte copy & paste would've worked.

And third, put them on a http server.

Let's not do this, ok?  Many people are still on dial-up, and 
having to download a 141KB email can be quite aggravating, especially
if per-minute charges have to be paid.

Please put it on an ftp or http server, instead.

Thanks
