   It's an Adroid phone.  I didn't know the apps were as different as they   
   are.  I did include the Android ng, but nothing in my text.  Sorry.

   It hasn't crashed Android.  I didin'gt know Android could crash!   
      
   But since I first posted, I tried emailing it and the email programs   
   said the attachment was something like unreadable.  That would account   
   for why it doesn't work when sending to Drive or Bluetooth.  But I've   
   tried to send very small chats and they don't do any better.  One of the   
   three that did work was quite big.

   I'd have to know where in the phone the zip file is stored. It doesn't   
   give FTP as one of the destinations, and I wonder if the zip file is   
   even saved if I don't complete the Exporting the way they expect me to.

   This would be useful later, but there is only text in these chats and I   
   don't especially want html.   A pdf file would be nice, and the Times of   
   India says that's an option coming from Android, but it's not on this   
   phone.   I updated the app and that didn't change, and nothing worked   
   better.   
      
   A very intersting thing that would apply to any bluetooth file transfer   
   to win11 is that originally the first two files went to   
      users\mee\appdata\local\temp   but 2 or 3 hours later, they were gone   
                                     and using Everything, I found them in   
      users\mee\Documents  !!!!!   
      
   In the first location, I even unipped each of the two files and and read   
   the .txt file with Notepad++. Here's a; couple lines:   
     11/20/25, 4:41 AM - YSS: It's ridiculous.   
     11/20/25, 4:41 AM - +254 788 nnnnnn: Wow that's nice bro
