Trying to email a file in Yahoo Mail.
In "Finder", I am told the PDF file is 72KB (70541 bytes) by "Get Info"
Highlighting it in Firefox, the quick little summary in Mac OSX's open screen informs me the file is 84KB, but clicking "More Info" brings back the get info screen that says its really only 72KB.
Clicking "Attach Files" uploads the file, at which point Yahoo claims the file is 91k.
At least "ls -l" in Terminal agrees with Finder.
Maybe Yahoo is measuring the amount of space the file takes once inserted as an attachment, in whatever replaces uuencode these days.
But what the hell is Firefox measuring?
