Does Mail (Tiger version) have a limit on the number of atacahments that
can be sent? I'm trying to send a folder with about 300 small files but
it keeps crashing.

It's probably trying to display them inline in the message.

Try 'zipping' them into an archive file first. Select all the files in
Finder (open the folder, then command-A), then control click and
Compress xx items (it may say Archive in Tiger, I can't remember now).

Then try sending the archive file instead.

Thanks - forgot about zip. Always too busy unzipping than zipping or
unraring than raring. Or unstuffing... etc.

Yes, it may be inline display but I thought dragging and dropping a
folder might work.

I doubt it, it'll still try and attach all the files individually.
AFAIK, you can't send a folder at all, in any mail app.
