Another PBEM Q:

Post by AbsntMndedProf »

When I receive a PBEM turn file, in the email it says the file is one size, but when I download it, the download always seems to be smaller than the size recorded in the email. For example the last turn I received was 327 KB according to the attatchment, but only downloaded 237 KB. Nothing serious, just curious. Thanks!

Yeah I noticed it too. Don't think it means anything, it's just the email service that's beefing up the attachements (?)

That's right, the email alone takes up a certain amount of space, so the posted size is the attachment plus the email. :D
