The load on the net and on the user mailbox storage will be the same. Even worse. If I get a large attachment, my e-mailer asks me if I want to download it or not. If it is split into many small parts, my e-mailer does not give me this option (but perhaps it should?) The ESTMP extension for splitting large messages is not supported by some email UA vendors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jacob Palme <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (Stockholm University and KTH) for more info see URL: http://www.dsv.su.se/jpalme/
