hi all,

i have a simple issue that i can not explain.
I am sending a mail with the attachment
that is of type Stuffit X Archive.The size of this file is 6.295.875 bytes
on disk,however when the mail is sent out i can see in sent items folder the size of this email in tab size shows 11,5 MB.There is no addtional text in mail body. this is allso observed with different file type attachments of various sizes in every case sent "mail size" appears ~ doubled,any idea ?
is this a known issue ?i find this weird.
thanx for helping,in advance.
 
If you have "Send Windows-friendly attachments" enabled in Mail's preferences, this can happen due to the type of encoding used. Try playing around with that preference and see what happens.
 
no.windows friendly attachments is not selected in pref.pane.
anyhow i doubt this would make an attachmet change size double whatever the coding
is.i guess the feature is for properly dipslaying mail body,attached icons and so forth.but the issue i am seeing is totaly wierd.
