We're currently working on an alternative version that will discriminate IE5, but it won't be ready until the next sit-in action. Please note that from 12.00 GMT on Friday December 3rd we are winding down the sit-in. The whole action page will evaporate into the ether on Monday, although there'll be a report page to thank people for taking part put in its place in about two weeks. So far we've demonstrated that the WTO's public information system is not immune from public pressure. Now we move to their private information system - their email.
Email systems are basically a high-speed server using standard software.
The important aspect of the system is the amount of online data storage capacity. It is impractical so send large manually-written text emails. Therefore, the only way this action can have effect is with emailed attachments. When sending email attachments these are, as part of the encoding process, compressed. It is also usual to compress the information on the server too.
