IAWM and if I can't view on the screen without extra clicks I don't
bother, windows picture fax viewer will resize to fit but to much
bother ;-) ok I am lazy

Personally I try to keep any photos well under 500 for the reasons the
original poster states, I remember dial-up too well. (To resize photos I use
Roxio Photosuite which I've used since version 3)
I also have some sympathy with Kiwi as I cannot be bothered to sort out
Y-enc files myself, I've tried but it's never worked properly and is just
too complicated to bother with, so like a lot of others here I suspect** I
simply ignore y-enc files.
** I say that as it's noticeable that Y-enc photos seem to get few
responses.

Tin hat on, ducks back into trench! :-)
