[HM] Sending jpegs

[Tom Burton]

Can you compress them? On a Mac, use StuffIt. On a PC, use WinZip. 
(or similar programs.)  Compressed files usually get to their 
recipient ok regardless of what your email program tries to do or 
their's tries to do (obviously, they need the appropriate 
de-compression sw).
