People keep sending me large email attachments. Many are the so-called humorous animated or video clips and have been round the world a couple of times. I'm not on broadband, and I don't want them!

Look in your mail software's options to see if you can set your mail software it so it does not download attachments, or does not download files that are bigger than a size you specify. In Outlook Express, it's in the Tools menu: select Options, go to the Mail Setup tab, and click Send/Receive. If you can't find something like that, you can always create a rule. An alternative is to run the Mailwasher spam filter. This will get a list of your email, who it's from and the size. Mailwasher will delete unwanted emails on the server, so you don't have to download them.
