As long as its emailed to me, I'll see it.  I haven't had a problem with 
my spam filters catching legitimate mail.  Then, I'll composite them 
into a single package to be uploaded.

Try to use macro parameters.  If you can't, then we should use a 
standard sizing system.  Rather than argue about it here, I'd recommend 
just using the above.

If you use parameters, however, then the above is unnecessary.

That's the idea, of course.
