Maybe we can keep what we have and improve it. Two ideas:

1. Does the technology exist today that would allow folks to send attachments,
but the server side would strip the attachments resize to reasonable dimensions
and place a link instead?

Surely it does. 

2. Perhaps a tier system where one could choose to receive the emails WITH the
media or rich formatting, OR they could choose to receive the emails with links
instead.

It’s like an upgrade to the individual/digest toggle. 

I’d much rather pay Chris for hosting.




We get to keep text only folks. 
We get to keep slow internet folks.
We get to keep limited data cap folks. 

All of them would only download what they click same as now. 

Folks who already know how to host a pic and send a link could still do so.
Folks who already know how to encode and host a video and send a link could
still do so.

We would add the glorious and easy ability for  folks to be able to share pics. 

Some would rather see a pic than a thousand words of my blather anyway.
