It would delay sending of the file but it would help many times with attachment size (pics, documents, etc.). Isn’t it odd that Outlook, Thunderbird, and other clients don’t automatically ZIP attachments or something?

I can't believe the number of times per week I end up deleting and recreating mbx files and pbx files, reinstalling Outlook, fixing corrupted files, or setting it up for users for whom it mysteriously deletes the settings. I always point out to people how in the help menu it has that "repair" option that essentially reinstalls Outlook. After pointing that out I always ask, "now what does THAT tell you?" Isn't it odd that Outlook, Thunderbird, and other clients don't automatically ZIP attachments or something? A lot of webmail services do that already.
