How much network traffic are you generating!!

Think of people on dialup, and those with small download limits. And 
those with (say) 10 Mbyte mailboxes.


A lot of people would be upset if you did that.

No attachments at all is the best practice. Prune excess quotes, add 
what you need. Otherwise, upload somewhere and post a link, or email on 
request.
