Hello Luis,

Thanks for setting up the list and providing a great forum for LF.

I have a suggestion.

The mailboxes of many people are fairly full already with various posts
etc., and as you say it does take some time for large files to download.
>From experience with other lists, have found that this can irritate a lot
of people.

Why not encourage the use of web space for people who want to share prints,
a simple URL will then direct those who want to look at photos etc.,
keeping mail boxes free of large files.


All the best,
