My main concern is the extra time it takes to download messages containing
in-line images rather than links to images. This is especially worrisome when
using the Entire Thread on One Page or the This Message and its Replies on

don’t care one way or the other, but many of us are on dial-up connections. I
at least have a 56K connection, but many areas can’t even get that level of
service.
