Completely OT for the current conversation other than a different interpretation of "size" that might amuse: I complained to someone who sent email to a mail list that had several 'standard' attachments - one of which was the corporate logo, 2 or 3 colours but 150k in size. I complained that the attachment was too big. He then told me that I needed to adjust my mail reader to show it a smaller size. I explained: size in bytes, it could quite easily be 1/10 the size. He did not understand. I explained in more detail. He was abusive to me :-( -- Alain Williams Linux/GNU Consultant - Mail systems, Web sites, Networking, Programmer, IT Lecturer. +44 (0) 787 668 0256 https://www.phcomp.co.uk/ Parliament Hill Computers.
