Sending non-text files

There are ways to send word-processing files, images, etc., as ‘attachments’, but many people still have trouble reading them. Always make sure that the recipient has the appropriate software, and knows how to use it, before sending an attachment.

Be judicious about sending large attachments, i.e., more than 50-100 kbytes. For very large files, an alternative is to use FTP if you have access to an FTP server, or an on-line storage service.
