Binary files are encoded for transport via emailso that they will pass 7bit gateways without damage (email always was a protocol designed for text only). That encoding is either base64 (common nowadays) or uu-encode. Both encoding methods increase the file size by about 1/3. You can't do anything about it. Maybe v2 showed the size of the attachment on-disk, while v3 shows the size of the attachment as it really is when the message is being sent (which I prefer). -- Best regards, Alexander mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.00.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
