Hi all,

My computer is a 486 PC. 

In Eudora, I press `attach document` ->  the name of a gzip-ed file -> 
send.  In receiving file by Eudora, it prompt me for a directory.  Fine!

It works for files less than 20Kb though my heart seems to beat faster than 
usual in observing the long  process of receiving. 

For file of say 100KB,  during receiving the file  was broken into several 
parts. But the content of the broken files seemed  to have undergone some sort 
of unknown  encoding.

So the question is:  How to send/receive 100KB gzip-ed file through e-mail?

Could you please join the game if you have time and come up with a solution?

Best Wishes,		TangSimon@cuhk.hk


PS  My friend cannot access a ftp or WWW site.
