Cool, it worked, I think. When it gets to the other end i get several messages all with attachments called "Part 1" "Part 2". How do I get my original file back again at the other side? (Im in windows using netscape if it makes a difference - if I can just find out what has been done to it maybe I can get it back!) Thank you so far
