While troubleshooting another problem I noticed this and wonder if its
normal. When generating a new message I insert 90k of text that was in notepad but the outgoing file becomes about 270k. No matter how much I insert the message becomes approximately three times as large as the copy/pasted file. Normal? TIA SG |

Is your message format Plain Text or HTML?
With plain text, the final message should generally be not much larger than the inserted text. If you are using anything other than English, then there can be more overhead. For example, with MIME/Quoted-printable encoding, accented characters can result in 3 characters in the message. And Unicode languages can have similar overhead, but for every character. If you are using HTML format, the message will be a minimum of twice the size of the text. That's because there will both plain text and HTML copies in the message. And the HTML tags will add much more. Take a look at the message source (Ctrl-F3) for one of your sent messages. You will see what is actually being sent. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "shakey" shakeyATsonic.net wrote in message ...

Thank you all for your information. It explains just what I wanted to know
perfectly. The size is roughly tripling due to start as plain text and sent as HTML SG "shakey" shakeyATsonic.net wrote in message ...
