Yes both are right, email is a text based medium, in order to transfer binary files (ie. Your Quicktime movies) they have to be encoded using a text based encoding system, such as Binhex or UUencode which convert the binary file into a text file. Both of these encoding systems add to the file size by anything up to around 35%, hence your 2.5MB file becoming a 3.5MB file. Craig -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
