I don't now about the internal mechanisms, but in principal it is doing the following: 1) Initially, cloud storage accounts are setup (e.g. ubuntu one or dropbox) 2) when an attachment is above a certain size, it is uploaded (presumibly https?) to the cloud storage 3) a link to the shared file on the cloud storage account is returned and inserted ionto the email, so that the recipient can download it from there. The uplaoded attachments are public, i.e. can be downloaded from everybody with the url. Rainer =2D-=20 Rainer M.
