People, let's please be a little civilized here. Like Paul, I am also one of those who gets annoyed at questions like mine and I apologize for my lapse in mailing list etiquette. However, unlike Paul, I usually ignore questions from people who haven't read the docs because it is a waste of time and resources to answer/attack them.
However, I was not the installer. I paid someone else to install this for us and asked them first how to change the attachment size. They were unable to provide an answer for me and suggested I try the mailing list. Shortly after sending in the question, I was able to locate the documentation and the section that specified the options for attachment size while performing the install and forwarded it to the helpful people at Inter7 so they were also aware of it. I assume this mailing list was put in place to help people, and not provide a forum for personal attacks. If there is a FAQ or an archive, can we put a link to it on http://inter7.com/sqwebmail? That's where I looked and was unable to find it.

Just answer the question >intelligently. i think my question is legitimate. if it's not, then i guess i'll just delete the sqwebmail docs and ask the list for help every single time i have a question. here's a question: does sqwebmail work? i look forward to your intelligent reply. no one word answers, please! >>in any event, he asked "is there a way", to which the correct answer is >>"yes". > >And if you were a C/C++ program, then you would be correct.
