IT_Encode questions

[Bill Weale]

3 questions:  (MacOS v11)

Where:
vAttachedFilePath_t="Andalucia_Olive_Oil.html.zip",

why would
$error_i:=IT_Encode (vAttachedFilePath_t;$encodedFilePath_t;2)

return
$encodedFilePath_t="Andalucia_Olive_Oil.html.zip.#0" ?

-------
I've seen list messages indicating that IT_Encode chokes on filepaths  
of length around 100 or greater. Is this true? (In the case above. the  
complete filepath is 74 long.)

-------
Finally, if filename "sample.txt.zip" is picked for an attachment,  
IT_Encode creates "sample.txt.zip.b64" >The next time a user selects  
"sample.txt.zip" for an attachment, IT_Encode throws an error of -48.  
The docs say that error  is: "Tried to rename a file with the name of  
an already deleted file." This is a "User-friendliness" issue where I  
have to provide for the circumstances that users will be attaching the  
same files repeatedly. My plan was to have them all zipped and kept in  
an "outgoing attachments folder."  The emailing function in the  
program would do the attachment encoding. (I'm using IT_Encode because  
the mailings frequently go to multiple addresses.)

So, it looks as if I need to have some functionality shuffle/delete/
rename rename the files created each time by IT_Encode?

Thanks,

Bill
