[thelist] compression / uncompression

[Barry Woolgar]

Hello

What is he using to send his email? Outlook, hotmail, yahoo, thunderbird,
some other mail client? I have a vague memory of sending a mail at one point
and having the option to 'optimally' compress my attachments. He might have
perfectly acceptable filesizes that are being mashed by an intermediate
service without either of you being aware.

I have a client who is an engineer, incredibly intelligent.  I have had to
send large documents, videos, digital images, back/forth.  Frequently the
pics he sends me are poor quality.  He has said several times that when you
send pics through email, particularly ones that need to be compressed to be
attached, that there are bytes lost or that they lose quality in the
process.

Rather than argue (he is an engineer...) I just say that if it happens it's
negligible.  So be it...  So the question is, Is there any validity to what
he says?  Honestly I have not heard of this being a problem.
