That does make a difference and rather a big one. 88K is within my
acceptable limits.

I just switched from Kmail to Evo to be able to use the *&^%#$% exchange
thing at work, and as far as I can see there's no easy way to see size
of attachments in evo (kmail lists them in a nice box below the
message). I must have double clicked the attachment and read the file
size from inside the archiver without noticing that's what it was.

Sorry for the flame, Thiers - I take it back :-)
