When emailing attachments, SnapZip offers you several options for automatically compressing files. Clicking on the Preferences link will prompt a Windows Message box to appear with three tabs - General, Image Compression and Email Compression. Choose Email Compression.

• Automatically compress all attachments into one zip file.
• Turn off automatic compression if you would prefer to compress the files manually.
• Automatically compress all attachments beyond a certain number and file size.

By choosing the third option of email compression you are telling SnapZip to automatically compress file attachments whenever two conditions are met. The first is the number of files that are attached to the email (Minimum Files). By default this number is two, so any time you have an email with two or more file attachments, they will be automatically compressed into a zip file. The second condition is total file size (Total Memory). By default this number is 100kb, so if the total file size of all of the attached files combines to 100kb or more, they will be automatically compressed into a zip file.

When this option is checked (as indicated below) both of these values can be changed to whatever you choose.
