For a while (longer than I care to admit) I thought "mb/s" was megabits/second....

Re: Make units clearer on email report

Hello,

I believe a cursory Google search will reveal that a 'b' typically refers to bits and a 'B' refers to bytes, or at the very least, will support the reasonableness of my initial interpretation.

Nonetheless, I'm not here to argue the semantics or nuances of capitalization of acronyms.  I'm simply suggesting a minor code change that I think will be an improvement.  Feel free to take it or leave it; I've already updated my copy of the code.

Thanks for the consideration.
