Can anybody explain 2 thinks (I am *really* asking): 1. Why would you send *huge* attachment through e-mail which is *not* optimized for it instead of using ftp or something else which is developed *exactly* for it? 2. Why would you store *huge* peace of data using mail client (and specially *inside* its mail database), which is *not* optimized for it instead of using some database engine? You can't make your application do *everything*. If you try - you get MS Office. :) So may be let do mail client do mail client job and don't try to deliver furniture with sport car? :) May be this is not a so bad idea to create *DB* DB engine for TB! mail database, but this is a very different story and at least it should be separate application. Look at the UNIX world: even "monsters" like Oracle use *separate* executables to do *DB* job, to do backup and recovery and to work with flat files. -- Best regards, Boris mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v1.54 Beta/19 on Windows NT 4.0 Build 1381 Service Pack 6 -- _________________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbbeta.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Beta: 1.54 beta/15 Wish List : http://wish.thebat.dutaint.com
