I discovered that oxp does not behave very well with file attaches that
bear long filenames.

The original filename was:

"netmail ending up in apoint areafix folder.jpg"

I started the netcall, and it stalled/froze the program as per above.

Now I know - I should probably stick with 8.3 filenames only?

I've just sent you a file with a filename of 30 characters and it
seemed to get sent without problems. However, I notice that your
filename is *very* long, perhaps OpenXP has a limit on filename
length? I'll ask the developer.

Did not work. Did not receive that one.

MEANWHILE, I think I found a bug. I tested a FA with a short filename
that contained spaces:

..and the crash call to your boss node locked up, and the logs do not show that file in the transaction ..only the message packet with a short
message to you went out.

The problem seems to be the spaces in the filename? ..and there is a
certain length limit because I do not get the longname file you tried to send.
