Sorry, can't resist replying here. In my limited (7 years) experience, 99% of all large file transfers via e-mail consist of dancing babies, horny snowmen, clumsy reindeer/monkeys/people movie clips. Oh, did I mention the plethora of cutesy jack-o-lanterns around October 31st? I also find it remarkable that no one seems to protect these 'sensitive' documents with PGP or another encryption method since we all know that e-mail is in plain text. What were you saying about ftp being insecure? David Leonard ShaysNet On Fri, 25 May 2001, Mitch Halmu wrote:
So what's a regular user to do? Email it! Hence the legitimate use of email for transmission of large files. Most ISPs know that if they start limiting this privilege, users will migrate to someone that allows it.
