OK, assuming it is, what would it do for me? Would it prevent people from emailing me 1Kb of info in a 2 meg Word file? If so would it return their mail to them with a nasty note saying it's too big, or what? If it's such a great idea, why doesn't everyone do it? :-) -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
