I prefer to have the charts as email attachments. It is much easier to use.
I have never set a limit on the size of an email.

Subject: Re: Equis ListServ Attachments
Hello A.J.:
thank you for your extremely detailed post. You know me A.J.. You know
I've posting TA for some time.
I have never posted commercial links. If I say it's a chart, you know it's
a chart. I try to make
everything I post (and will disperse in the future) on the 'Net as accurate
as possible.
The problem with sending large attachments is many users, including me, set
a limit in the email client
software as to how large an email can be. If an email is larger than this
limit and I don't see it, it
will stay in my ISP's email server until they purge their old emails. This
could be months away.
Because I get many emails a day, it is possible for me to never notice it.
Everyone should have a set
limit to protect themselves from downloading huge emails they don't want.
Because the Equis ListServ is so active, the size of the file which contains
these emails tends to
increase fairly rapidly. The old file which contains previous email is 60
MB's. I have since started
another file. I cannot keep large 80 KB emails for my records so I must
delete them.
I create charts because I want to share my ideas and obtain opinions from
the group. The purpose of
this group is to increase the level of expertise for everyone. I will
always upload my charts to a host
so that it doesn't not inconvenience the group. While this does involve some
extra steps, it keeps the
Equis ListServer from having to disperse the charts to 880 people. I do not
want to inconvenience
people who do not wish to reply or see my charts by forcing them to download
my charts and Excel
spreadsheets. For example, I do not follow the EURO so I have no reason to
download its chart. I
follow this philosophy so far as to even convert the huge 340 KB JPG
MetaStock charts into 27 KB GIF's.
I also then edit the accompanying MetaStock HTM file so that it displays the
new GIF and not the old JPG
file.
I have not read the rest of your email. I will do so later.
Daniel.
