Hey Thomas, RealityCheck� ! With a 56k, on *average* (digital) phone
lines you get, varying with the distance to the VST, at least 33,6k,
mostly between 42-50kbps!

You're using a modem. Modems feature compression that works quite
nice. eMails are text. Text can be compressed at very high rates.

There is a S/MIME 1.45 release...
