Ask Before You Send Huge Attachments

How did you feel when you got that funny 253 MB picture? Even if you enjoyed it, not everybody will be as amused. Some want to "just quickly check my mail" only to end up watching their email program downloading and choking for 20 minutes.

If a mailbox is not constantly emptied, overly large attachments can clog it and prevent the owner from getting email.

Ask Before You Send Huge Attachments

This is why you should

• ask before if it's okay to send a larger file (>1 MB) via email,
• compress whenever it makes sense and
• send a small version of any image before sending the full-resolution picture.

As an alternative to attaching, you can use file sending service, which can deliver files GBs in size.
