RE: those big non-standard mail fiels
I'm sorry, I tried not to comment but I couldn't help it. I received a
Functional Design Spec for a project as a self extracting archive (.exe).
I ran it and it turned into a word document (office 97 version) of a bit
over 16Mb. I sent that to a small group of folks for review and it blew the
20Meg limit for almost everybody... This doc is about 40 pages (plus or minus
a page or two) and it has about 10 screen dumps in it. The exe file was
about 600k...

real easy to happen. A friend of mine and the secretary saved a file
yesterday morning, about a 5 page paper. Well, they tried to. THey had the
old file, pasted in a graph from excel, and they couldn't save to floppy.
Turned out that in whatever it defaulted to, the pasted picture was well over
a meg . . .
