The file was about 900 KB, or 1.2 MB when converted to MIME. I've sent RAR files (as attachments) at least that big before and never had a problem, but I assume that the MIME translation created some type of "flag"--somewhere--that the server didn't like. A fluke. It may never happen again, so I'm not going to worry about it till it does. :-) Thanks for your help. Randy -- R Burns [EMAIL PROTECTED] HoHoHo! Seid Ihr auch alle schön brav gewesen?
