Awwww. I was hoping not to have to do that because they are many and
varied. For instance, I might send a document to a councillor whom I
have not had much to do with in the past and who will not want to be
taking up technical issues with his IT support team.
I am constantly astonished at the low level of understanding of some
computer users. But rather than just call them idiots (which they
probably are) I have to think how I can get my message to them
without asking for any work on their part.
The confidential file(s) are mine and so it is not the recipient who
cares if the file contents "leak" while being delivered to them.
