Additional notes

Although we zipped up some picture files in this example, it is worth noting that zip files can be used to store any type of files, or even a mixture of files. Keep in mind though, that if you zip up too many files you may create a very large zip file and many e-mail systems will reject messages with very large attachments on them.
