Probably .bmp pix that could have easily been converted to .jpgs
with a fraction of the size.

Were she not a familiar PC person and worthwhile contributor to this
list over the years (except recently) she would have been unsubbed if
not locked out. I have never seen a text/graphics post of this size to
a non binaries forum ever before. I can't see why it could not have
been prevented from being sent in the first place.

Rule #1: don't send large attachments to posts to this forum and never
.bmp files.
