How long is the full key? Mine's 15 long, but I can't yet use it as this PC

Ok, that's good. Strange it wouldn't work with my Yahoo mail though.
I filled the form out exactly as the first attempt, but using a gmail

It lets me go back to 1945 in my area - with nothing between then and
2010. But the overlay of the current roads doesn't line up with the
original (which haven't moved!) by a couple of hundred metres or so - as
if they're using different datums. Is there any way of correcting this?

Ours goes back only eight years but is interesting in that the latest
dated shows features on the property that were added after the date they

Because its easy and pretty reliable.
I have sent 100s of megabyte emails before now.
There is no point in doing so here as the setup program asks for the key
when it installs.
It took me two attempts to register, the servers are overloaded.

It is, generally, easy.

Reliable, I think not. Many email servers refuse to handle such large
emails.

It can also be rather unfriendly. If you know sufficient details you are
possibly in a position to make a reasonable decision but suddenly
finding your limited 3g/4g connection downloading such a large file, to
a device that can't even use it, doesn't seem a good idea. And that can
very easily happen. Especially as there are so many sensible
alternatives such as the near-ubiquitous Dropbox and its rivals.

a) Because they don't know of another method

b) Because that's normal, at least for Powerpoint presentations

Way back when, when wide-area Email was starting (well before the
Internet), I had an argument with our Email people about sending
files via Email. They said that you should never do that, because
Email was like letters, so I said "What about parcel post?" I lost,
and Email didn't support sending files until many years later.

Of course, everyone With Clue knew how to encode files as plain
text (hence uuencode etc.), but it took ages before attachments
appeared. And now people send messages as attachments, so you
can't read them without the right application, and are opening
yourself up to an attack if you do ....

How technology has, er, progressed!

The ones I were using could handle up to 250 Mbytes and couldn't send to
any others outside their restricted IP address range. Its a layer of
security that you don't get on public mail servers.

It has advantages if you need to deliver a file in that you know its
there when the email arrives and it can go at a low priority and not get
people trying to download stuff on the corporate links during the day
when they arrive at work.


It can also be rather unfriendly. If you know sufficient details you are
possibly in a position to make a reasonable decision but suddenly
finding your limited 3g/4g connection downloading such a large file, to
a device that can't even use it, doesn't seem a good idea. And that can

alternatives such as the near-ubiquitous Dropbox and its rivals.


That would be a user problem as if you were using a 3g/4g connection you
would set the mail client to only download the minimum needed to see
what to do with the email. (Or run imap.)

My 2c

Corporate email systems (tend to) revolve around Exchange.
In Exchange, all emails and attachments get merged into one big database
file for access by the Outlook clients.
Databases are great for handling and searching through lots of small
packets of data. They don't fair so well when large files are included.
In database design, images and the like should be included as links in a
database record, rather than including the file itself.
The same approach holds true for Exchange/Outlook and can clearly be
seen by the (slow) speed of search when looking for a message in a
folder which contains many messages with large attachments.

In addition, there are storage and backup considerations..
The user receives an email with a large attachment and saves said file
out to a folder full of similar files. You now need twice the storage
and twice the backup capacity.

Large files should be uploaded to cloud storage and a download link only
distributed.

Up to EX2007, there was single instance storage, so there would be one
copy of the attachment shared by all recipients (or a handful of copies
if the recipients are spread across multiple stores). But from exchange
2010, every recipient gets their own copy, so sending large attachments
to large numbers of colleagues will make you unpopular with the exchange
admins.
