Rubbish
if you had read the various emails you would have seen that I
myself am absolutely against huge attachments being send via
mail. FTP is a much better way and even then files being split
is preferable. Normally I would use winrar for that, 1.44 per
file as on ftp as well its much easier to see what has been send,
is complete and what isnt. My file split size is selected on
purpose as most of my attachments if send via ftp or email have
to be moved to another system so I make sure they fit on
floppies...
anyway,
1. I didnt want to send a 30 mb email but as I can drop a 22 mb
file, generating a 33 or so mb email WITHOUT crashing the bat
while its sending, the best way to proof that is a small jpeg.
One picture is worth more then a 1000 words or whatever the
proverb says so it likely saves space...
The fact that the large email was going proves that there
doesnt have to be the problem sending large files with the bat.
That its unwanted practise is a different matter and no-way would I
send anyone a huge email like that.
I couldnt as my server would bounce it back to me!!
But as I mentioned I always drag and drop, never use the menus.
2. I was testing the complaint, confirmation was requested,
so I tested it , made the jpeg and then canceled the 33mb or whatever
sized email...
3. system is win98 second edition, celeron 300A (running
rockstable at 450), 256 mb ram.
BUT, I still think as mentioned by myself and by others that the
BAT leaks memory / resources somewhere as if you have it open for
a while and close / open various things you have a very good
chance to slowly freeze the BAT. But I donot think size of
attachment itself is the problem.
Best regards,
tracer
