This is way off-topic, but I couldn't think of a better place to get my query answered.
If I compose an email with a few attachments and send it to a friend with several Ccs to other fiends, what happens to it?
Do the attachments get up-loaded once to the ISP and then sent to each of the Ccs, or do they get up-loaded with each of the Ccs before sending?
I'm asking this question because I believe that one cause of the poor performance of our retirement village network is that members keep sending on emails that they receive as I have outlined above. On networks, once upload bandwidth hits maximum, download bandwidth drops to a crawl.
