If you send an email with MyMail with a large attachment, does it stall
and then behave like it has finished ?  You may find that the email hasn't
actually been sent.

This is what happened to me with 1.16 and inet. With dial-up or 1.15.12
(which doesn't use inet) worked perfectly when sending or receiving large
files.
