mm but if I am correct there is no images or other non compressible data in
the .dia file.
is it not so that the .dia file is full of text? thus that the compression
with a given factor can be predicted?

or otherwise put. how often is the "maybe" value the real value?
Because the difference is pretty big, an image of 100 MB I will not send
via email. An image of 1MB i will. And thus this message can have
big influence on the behavior of the user. And giving the real vallue is
cool :)

Kind regards

Edzo
