Hi,

Base64 encodes 3 byte blocks into 4 byte chars, so the original data has (16652*76+8)/4*3 = 949170 bytes (or 1-2 bytes less, but that makes no difference because it's padded anyway).

Thanks. I have calculated both other files and recreated zero padded files. Now I am going to watch the log file and see, if errors are gone.

One last question: If the user now opens a mail, where the attachments are broken and he/she removes the mail, are the created hand-made files be removed automatically?

Thanks in advance

Kind regards
