I wish there was an easy way to come to some kind of compromise. I
consider myself lucky that when I explain why sending big files via
email is bad, people do in fact understand and are open to alternate
means of transferring the files, but I can see how, at a larger ISP,
there would be a lower percentage of people like that.
