I am in agreement that it's likely not tcpserver. I sure do wish I
knew exactly what it was, however, since large attachments are among
our top tech support problems. I hear all the time "my friends can
get large attachments but I can't" so customers assume it's our fault.
On the assumption it's a client-side issue, we're upgrading our CD to
install Netscape 4.5, instead of the current 4.04 version. Could be
4.04 is buggy in that respect, but I've seen the problem with many
other mail clients as well.
