I noticed when I downloaded the archives last night, that each message was
considerably larger on my Mac than on my PC at work. 13k as opposed 3k
makes a huge difference when we're talking about thousands of files. This
seems strange to me since they are just text files. They should be the
same size on a Mac or PC. If anyone has any ideas about what could be
causing this, please reply to me personally, since this is not really an
alt-photo topic.
