No, as others already pointed out it is a safeguard against exceeding limits of some MTAs or gateways. There are still systems that have size limits for messages but not for the number of messages. I mentioned munpack yesterday - it was specifically developed for that situation. Feed every message into munpack - if it got all parts of the file, the file magically appears :) In todays environments I think it's better to use a single large message - not many receivers will be able to puzzle the file together. You were an excellent example :) Regards, Frank
