Hi all,

Actually I read the mail, but sometimes I fail to remember names
associated with points made unless I'm well acquainted with the
individual such as Steve or Leif or Mark. My apologies for the
misunderstanding.

It's now my turn to say rubbish. Utter rubbish at that. :)))
Simply saying that you have no problems sending large attachments
using drag and drop to attach the file instead of the add attachments
dialog routine, and also adding that you testes and successfully did
this with attachments up to 35MB in size would've been just as
effective. Why would you think otherwise?

OK, my apologies then. ;)
I still resent the attachment. Maybe if everyone decided to do what
you consider is more effective than a thousand words and start
attaching captured images and posting them as attachments to
illustrate points then you'd see why I'm upset.

All could've been communicated without the attachment. You know, TB
wouldn't even display the .jpg image, so I saved it remotely and
opened it only to be surprised at what it was. It didn't help really.
