        Hi,
nice, I'm glad it helped.

No need for a physical delivery, just pack the file with something
powerful, like xz:
   $ xz -z -k folders.db
which will create a folders.db.xz file, then attach it to an email and
send it directly to my address. I tried the xz command here and it
compressed my ~44MB file to ~3MB, which is pretty nice compression
ratio.
        Thanks and bye,
