Please, people...stop sending attachments.

Um- for most browsers with their own email client (which is the most
populr medium) like Netscape or MIE mysteriously have a cap of the
amount of text you can put directly into the message body.
Communicator won't let me go past 32k so I have to decide- plain
text? or multiple posts?

Multiple posts get lost, generating requests for more missing parts.

Plain text tends to take longer to read unless its MIME- but are
usually easily accessed.

I choose the later when hitting over 32k.

Which leaves those of us who can't read attachments out in the cold. 
Any more, if a message has attachments to it, I don't even bother 
reading it. I may be missing some *really* good fanfics, or some 
really *bad* ones, but I'll never know.
