One of the things we Mac users often forget is that those folks on the other
side of the world need to know the file types. I would recommend using
graphic converter to reduce the size, pixel count(100), and make sure the
file type is appended to the name. Also, even though later systems say you
can use long names, zipping files always works better if you adhere to the
8.3 DOS naming standard.
