I'm puzzled by how email sizes will grow to an average of 650KB by 2007...
I know they're growing, but stil the vast majority of the emails I receive are only 10's of KB...
What's the logic?
I want to know so I can make an effort to either delay that growth or plan for it in my organisation!
(Ed note. Obviously the 'average' is determined by a number of factors. You will still receive a large number of emails that are 4kb or 6kb in plain text of a few words, but with increased bandwidth the size of larger files will also increase. Photos, movies, MP3s, large media-rich presentations will become ever more common attachments - so the average will appear incredibly high.)
