Why not use file hosting services?

Old files, or files that violated copyrights.

Just insert some keywords & tags in your message!

I have seen forums/newsgroup servers that banned attachment larger than
500Kbytes. But these restrictions could be defeated by splitting the
files into trunks of 500Kbytes.

Anyway, I think it's better to send your big file to file hosting
services (e.g., zShare, SendSpace, HotFile, ...).

BTW, expiration of hosting could be a good thing if you think the other
way. :)

Wait... how about Google Docs? If these files are important, Google Docs
is a good place for you. I think Micro$oft runs a similar service via
MSN (not sure!).

Then you should seriously consider using Google Docs! Micro$oft Office
is heading the same direction!

I was *NOT* saying PDFsam was junk. :)
