Article on effective communication and e-mail connection speeds

Speed is an issue, as is the cost of connection. Are you causing undue stress on your corporate network if you send large attachments that could be distributed in other ways? This may be true if you send the attachment to multiple recipients because many E-mail systems send and store a separate copy for every person on your distribution list.

Some E-mail systems use efficient store-once technology, meaning that the message gets stored once and only a pointer to the attachment is placed in the recipients’ in- boxes.

For a traveler, long-distance costs can be expensive. To limit costs and usage, some companies restrict the size of incoming messages. In any case, large attachments take up excess storage space. It might be more effective to send everyone a notice that they can find the information in a central location if they are interested.
