Re: Mails with large attachments and the charset UTF-8 option

Hi Chip,

> How large are your attachments that cause this problem?

The attachment size varies. Some are 300Kb, others are 3Mb. It is not
the size of 1 attachment that causes the trouble, but the size
combined. If the total size si small enough blat will attach
everything in 1 message.

Mostly outlook, but it is the same if you send it to gmail.

> What is the command line that you use for this?

The command line used is this:

blat.exe body.txt -of blatoptions.txt

and then the rest of the options are in the blatoptions.txt fle:

-f [email protected]
-to [email protected]
-server mymail.server.com
-u myuser
-pw mypassword
-sf subjectfile.txt
-attach "largefile1.pdf,largefile2.pdf,largefile3.pdf,smallfile4.pdf,smallfile5.pdf"
-charset UTF-8

In reality there is a path after the -attach options. Something like

-attach "c:\\user\\USERNA~1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\largefile1.pdf,c:\\user\\USERNA~1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\largefile2.pdf,et
cetera".

The actual path depends on the windows version. That is the reason for
the optionfile because otherwise the command line became too long (if
there were a lot of attachments).
