For instance, if Apple had this product, they could mail me Hypercard 2.0! :-) We are evaluating it. There is still a Unix limitation of maximum mail message size. Maybe Hypercard 2.0 would be too big. They would have to compress it, and I dare not mention any format 'cause the flames would start again. Sigh... There is no limit on the size of an Internet mail message. Sendmail has a configurable limit; in anticipation of various people tossing files about with the wild abandon that Mac mail systems seem to allow one to, I have set the limits in the sendmail configs I control to 10MB (and have allocated spool space accordingly).
