Hi Brian, I realized shortly after I sent the message and received the notice that the moderator was going to make decision about whether the message would be forwarded that I better do something about the size. So, I reduced the size by eliminating all of the other messages that I had unwittingly left attached to the original message, and sent it again. It was accepted without a problem. I wasn't aware of the size limitation when I sent the message, but I agree with you that reducing the size is definitely a courtesy that needs to be extended to just about everybody. Thanks for your help. All the best, Pat Thompson
