Intended to be 100KB not 100MB no doubt.
I agree very much with your comments, I am one of the people with a very poor
connection (I shudder to think others might have worse!) so a 100KB
message+attachment takes one minute to retrieve as it is.
The average time per day for p.b.i. alone might be about 15  minutes or more.
Not really a terribly long time but it can be a long wait sometimes when I go
through each one individually so the time seems stretched out further.
A good (bad?) example would be the recent maze postings there.  I could easily
see those being reduced to horribly compressed Jpeg images and still get the
idea of what they are  ;-)
