And I use rar to       compress for my point system because it's better at compressing (specially       multiple files). And I sometimes don't get the mail for my point for weeks...               NB> I'm not even going to use ZIP unless someone actually wants to change        NB> their default setting of NONE.              Same here...                     Wilfred.              --- FMail-W32 2.0.1.4        * Origin: point@work (2:280/464.112)    |
