I guess it's too late to say this, but...  If you put everyone who asked for
the pic in either the "To," "CC," or "BCC" field of the message that you're
attaching the file to, you'd only have to send it once (apologies if you did
that, it's just that it didn't sound like you did that from your message)..

Five minutes for one meg on a 28.8 connection sound pretty normal...
