RE: [Declude.Virus] I do not think this should of failed.
It may be worth your time to contact Yahoo and alert them of this if it is really an issue. If they give a hoot (and they very well may) they will put some text on the page to use the Url and not the filename when sending links of maps in email. Doesn't Yahoo have a link for sending a map to somone directly on their site.

I do not have any clout with Yahoo so I doubt I could get them to change their nomenclature. Unfortunately, filenames longer than 256 characters are very unsafe. If Yahoo chooses to use filenames greater than 256 characters, they need to understand that their E-mails are going to be blocked. It sounds like Yahoo just changed their file naming system.

In general, if the average person isn't going to be able to type a filename without making a typo after a few tries, it shouldn't be used as a filename. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers since 2000.
