Hi, seems my email server is a bit slow and mail messages are crossing  
paths, I don't have a problem with checking for 31, but will point out  
perhaps the check should be for 31-4 so one can later create foo.cs.zip
from the foo.cs. So the code below is ok, just watch the assumptions  
about how long the file name actually will be once it gets to the point  
of mailing, versus filing out.
