"saving to disk" email attachments in the 10MB range seem to take a long time. Am I doing something wrong or is the attachment getting "scanned"?
Remember, an attachment is binary data converted to ascii text... an 8-bit to 7-bit conversion. Binary files increase in size by 14% when converted to text. Your 10 MB of attached text is equivalent to a typical shelf encyclopedia, like Britanica. In binary form it would be 8.9 megs. So, yes, it would be a "slow" process to convert an entire encyclopedia back to binary. -- Dean A.
