yea, you can contact madshi over at madshi.net at his forums if you have any recommendations for him
the outside-game ui is only secondary...
i guess the compiler should care about that, not me
the madshi's exception handler does actually do have a build in smtp sender, however i have not made good experiences in the past with a build-in smtp server. (personal) firewalls tend to block these kinds of sending attempts also do mail servers that redirect that mail to us - and i prefer to have the user free choice of what he sends us or not.
if these mails are not sent, everything is logged to a file in your user directory:

And the size of an executable can still be a *big* problem depending on your code. If the code does not fit cleanly into the CPU cache lines (this is mostly important on code that is executed often) then it can mean like the difference between the section of code taking 13us to execute, or 850us to execute (yes, I had that much difference once, really sucked since it was an important part of the code).

Will give 3.0.7 a try at my next chance, maybe about midnight tonight after work. Thanks. 
And yea, most ISP's block outgoing email as well, the thing I wrote does not use SMTP, I am just lazy, I have it upload to a read-only directory on IP and timestamp named files, therefor I have the full crash-dump (VASTLY more useful then the method you use now, you really should generate a dump file instead, contains all the useful information you had, and a whole lot more) on my site, ready to download by me. Nice thing about this style is I have not ever had any issues getting a mini-dump through someone's network, as long as they click OK to let the program access out through the firewall (assuming they have not already done so if it is a networked program).
