[Gllug] 1.1 Mb .doc attachment

[Mark Preston]

Hi all,
I've just received my first ever unrequested .doc email attachment of 
over 1 megabyte.
It was sent by the secretary (unpaid) of a small group to which I belong 
which has a few meetings over the course of a year. He has cc'd this 
email to about 30-40 other members of the group (presumably all those 
for whom he has an email address). In the attachment he has embedded a 
bitmap photo of the speaker for the next meeting (reduced the original 
size by 50%) to look better on the single page flyer which is the whole 
of the attachment. How do I politely convince him that future  
attachments should be sent in a different way. I don't want to appear 
ungrateful, but I've already posted a reply in the past asking for 
attachments to be sent in non .doc format.
Any reasons behind not sending attachments of this format and size would 
be appreciated. I'm sure there must be a few good ones.
TIA
Regards,
Mark Preston
