40K is the default on Mailman mailing lists, and for good reason. I don't know how many subscribers there are, but multiplying message size by number of recipients can generate huge volumes (don't forget that encoding binary attachments increases their size by about 1/3). Not everybody has broadband connections, and getting large attachments can cost them Real Money(tm) (as if there is any of that in the world's monetary systems these days :-), and take a long time to download. One of the best features of the horde/imp webmail program is that it makes it easy for one to upload attachments to the web server with a link to the attachment in the body of the message. That's a feature I would like to see an all webmail servers. Bill -- INTERNET: b...@celestial.com Bill Campbell; Celestial Software LLC URL: http://www.celestial.com/ PO Box 820; 6641 E.
