It is a similar problem to someone using a 1600x1200 picture in a small part of a letter. I try to educate these people. Some are willing, some not. Just this week I received a one page letter with a small picture created in M$ word that was 2.29 mb! I reformatted it in OpenOffice and it was only 66k. Even though this person was in a foreign country I had them download Irfanview and then called last night to explain how to resize and enhance the picture. As long as software developers and camera makers insist on defaulting to total bloat this problem will exist. At least with a large attachment I can choose to download it. With HTML messages I have no choice if I need to know the content and I make myself vulnerable in the process. -- Take Care, Paul The Bat! v.3.0.2.10 on Win2k SP4 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.0.9.1 Deep Alpha | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
