Hi There must be a common denominator for this problem, perhaps we should start again and do what we learned in University: Analyze (from Greek for taking apart) the problem step by step. Seems very reasonable to me, so let's go! 1. Where do you all store your attachments, in separate

Hi guys Great idea putting the message store in a zip - a suggestion though. Is there anyone who can set up an auto responder that sens out the one message with the corrupt image...? Mainly because I want to see if there is a difference between the message store version and a forwarded one -

Here are some observations (and some files to look at). First, the files: You will find these files at ftp://ftp.blinn.com/thebat/. I think there is a low limit on how many anon ftp users can be connected simultaneously. * Ray4x6.tif: Single standard TIFF that somehow became a

Hi Lars, Although some of the arguments might seem a bit exaggerated at first, I can tell from my own experience that not using a personal firewall isn't much of a loss. You only have to keep up with security updates for your system, but shouldn't everyone do that? ;-) Hmm, while one
