Hello,
Yep, got it to work. First of all, thanks for the info on watching the
mail progress, I didn't think of that. Also, thanks for the hint that
it would take a while. It all works just fine.
Thanks to all of you for your comments, much appreciated.

You should be able to mail the .dmg files, encrypted or not. I'm
not sure if it matters, but you may want to be sure the file isn't
mounted when you attach it. Also, isn't there a way to create a
smaller sized .dmg file? I thought I had seen a way to do this --
maybe it involved creating the file and then somehow shrinking it?
I know I've downloaded .dmg files smaller than 10 MB.

Hello,
I'm not using .mac. I was just emailing directly to his email
address. Other than this Encrypted file, I have emailed a number of
files much larger than 10MB without any problems. Also let me
clarify something. The file attachment is a .DMG file that was
Encrypted with 256 bit encryption.
Inside this file are several documents. The smallest Encrypted Image
that OS 10 will let you create is 10MB. I attempted to make the
package a smaller file and the OS wouldn't let me do that.

Are you using a Dot Mac account? I'm asking because the service is
flaky right now and also because your ISP may not likely allow a 10
MB file through the pipes. Dot Mac should have sent it with no
problem if that's what you are using. Another thought with Apple
mail and large files being sent is it waits a couple of minutes as
that file is being transfered.

Hello,
While this doesn't really concern VO, it does concern Apple Mail.
Just a while ago, I attempted to email an encrypted file to a
friend. After I attached the file and unchecked Windows friendly
file attachments and pressed send, nothing at all happened. In
other words, the mail program just hung. The size of the Encrypted
file was 10MB.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this situation?
For example, does Apple deliberately not allow the emailing of
Encrypted files?Dan
