If you do need to send large digital photos, or any large files, there are better ways of doing this than e-mail. The most convenient are Web sites specifically set up for this. With YouSendIt (www.yousendit.com) and Rapid File Share (www.rapidfileshare.net), you can send files up to 1 gigabyte in size for free.
