Re: Testing an Attachment #MacSupportCentral #Mail

 

Jim R, I agree. They often communicate much more info than the person with a question realizes. It can often suggest areas that the OP does not realize are an issue.?

I used to be a rigging inspector for a company across the US and Canada. Our average lift was 40 metric ton, so it was important. Often they would send along a photo, and I often saw other issues than the one they were asking about. Sometime I even found rare equipment that was not in use and needed elsewhere.

Since image don't repeat in replies through the server, I don't find it as a problem, but very helpful. Just be aware to use a smaller size image. That and I hate it when I am reading posts and the image causes the text to become tiny, especially on my iPad. On my iPhone, I just skip the post.

Yes, I've noticed that??allows attachments! ?That's very cool, but I hope that folks don't get carried away with this ability.

One situation where attachments could be very helpful would be screenshots from ¡°About this Mac¡± system reports, or from Actifity Monitor, etc., given that they could replace many paragraphs of machine and OS descriptions, often teased out of the OPs over the course of many messages. Of course, as graphics attachments they¡¯re likely to chew up more memory than even many many paragraphs of ASCIII or html explaining the same thing less accurately.

I have no idea how difficult it would be to police these posts or guide list members to using them efficiently and economically.
