IIRC there could be issues relating to the character encoding used in the CLOB or the stream it is exposed as, mail is notorious in its ability to mix encodings within a single message, a BLOB is more "raw" than a CLOB which presupposes that it contains characters. This may explain our historic choice of BLOB vs CLOB, or it may be wrong. Field size for this is worth knowing about though, James would need to have db field size >= max allowed message size. d. *************************************************************************** The information in this e-mail is confidential and for use by the addressee(s) only.
