Hey DM,

I'm using sychronet more for "bbs" related email, and I had a user send me an email with 10 screenshots (and thus 10 attachments).

Since I'm away from home, I dont have POP enabled, and leveraged a terminal to download the attachments to look at them. (That all worked well.)

However, after *each* attachment I was asked if I wanted to hangup after it being received. I also didnt know how many there were, and at one point I wondered if it was looping. (It wasnt.)

I wondered if it was possible to some changes, I was thinking these three things:
* Can all attachments be sent as a batch, thus one answer to "yes" that I want to download them, and one answer to "no" dont hangup.

* Is it possible to display how many (and I guess how big) the attachments are?

* If batch is not possible, can the ask to hangup be only asked once?

....δεσ∩

you might be the first sysop ever to get an email from a user with 10 screenshots/attachments. that's pretty much against email etiquette.

I would tell the guy to send one zip archive instead.

i think it's a decent idea to send it all as a batch but that's it.
