<off topic>Since u brought up this subject, I thought I'ld mention this.
The real problem is the 33% growth spurt caused by MIME encoding which
doesn't even utilize all of low ASCII. These days I can't see any reason
why high ASCII can't also be used in the encoding process. All that would
have to be escaped would be the control codes and maybe a few other special
characters. That way file growth could be kept to a few percent tops. </end

This is exactly what Microsoft Outlook does. Ur second statement is also
true as I can attest that I've told many an angry user "Sorry dude, ur gonna
