Re: FW: [was 1 Request Part - 19 of 28] Requested (URL - http://www.swissair.com/download/tt99_00_exe.019)

Okay,
I can guess what happened 
1. www4mail answered correctly [ Mailed all parts]
2. The mail server (sendmail) decides that it is bulk mail and can afford
to wait.

3. The files do not get delivered within 12 hours and is deleted from the
mail queue.

This looks like I have to work on the priority of the mail server.

About the size,

Each part sent to you should be 276861 bytes... 
The tendency is that MIME or UUENCODING a file increases it's size by
about 30%.  So what www4mail does is to try to ensure that the MIME
encoded file + Mail Headers + Text information is about 300K.

Anyway, what I mean is that after MIME or UUENCODING the size being sent
to you is aproximately 300K.

Assuming your mail server has a size limit of 300K on your mail box, then
it will refuse to accept a file attachment of 300K because after MIME
encoding the message size is now about 390K.

Thanks
Clement
