Default File Inflating in size Q

I am using Ron deBruin's code to e-mail an XLSM file. The code I use
is pretty much as per this link

http://www.rondebruin.nl/mail/folder2/mail3.htm

What I found is that I couldn't open the e-mailed file on a
Blackberry, so I changed the file format to XLS on the file that is
mailed out, and the file size ballooned to 3mb (it was only 295k using
XLSM). Why is that?

Excel 2007 files are always smaller in size because it is really a zip container.
Maybe you can check your usedrange of the sheets in the workbook
