Dave,

Sorry for the long delay seeing this message, I did not notice it in my ema=
ils to let it be posted.

Binary files should be sent as attachments, with perhaps a short text messa=
ge as the body.  Which version were you using that seemed to work for you b=
efore trying version 3.2.19?

I will run a similar test in a moment with various versions to look for any=
 differences.

Chip
