For instance, one of my high school classmates sent me a message with ~70MB of digital photos attached so I could edit them and post them to our class' website for our 25th reunion. It takes about 45 seconds for AppleMail to render that message and display all the photos. And it does that (takes that long) every time I open that particular message. -- Chris
