<sigh>
I suppose it was a a quirk at the ftpmail/host server during the time of my
request.
I would have tried the request without the MIME keyword anyway, but I didn't
want to queue another request right away. And I was curious about the
result I got. Nothing here explains how the file became a 'DOS program',
bigger in size than the original *after* decoding. The file had a valid
signature, at least according to the 'quickview' program that comes with
Windows. And now, apparently, the problem has righted itself.
Ah well, one of those unsolved mysteries...

Subject: Downloadslave: Don't kill it!
Now that the beans have been spilt - is that the expression? - on the
megabyte capabilities of downloadslave, I have no doubt it will be speedily
and efficiently beaten to death, or at least cease to be free ...
Interestingly, many corporate systems (and perhaps some ISPs?) have cut down
on the permissible size of a single mail message to combat the threat of the
zipfile virus going around, whereas downloadslave sends the entire requested
file as a single mail attachment.

No I'm not Bob Rankin and you have a very old copy of the guide. We are
now up to version 8.3 June 1999. Don't know where you got the one you
are referring to but it's not on any of the standard distribution
points (mit, mailbase, or my server).
Mailback is NOT a standard distribution point. It's not listed by me in
the guide nor in my servers listing.
These are the standard distribution points:

Most of the latest virus attacks have been macro viruses and are sent
as attachments to small innocent looking mail messages. The attachments
are also small.
Big is not really the problem except for embedded viruses in program
code.
