Hoping this was sent by a human!
The application sucks, from what they say. First I think e-mail is not
mean for transmitting large files. Second, this applications seems to
want you to also install some web application, otherwise what is the
use of the "with the link to this attachment"?
Third, it generates another e-mail, to notify me. I am expecting a
reply, not a notification that John Doe downloaded an attachment. :P
Now, isn't this as bad as inserting stupid disclaimers into e-mail? ;)
