Might this help - from Outlook Express's help files? George. To send large messages Many e-mail and news servers limit the size of the messages you can receive and send. Usually this limit is one megabyte (1 MB) per message, including all attached files. With Outlook Express, you can send large messages or files to e-mail and news servers that have size limits, by breaking the messages into smaller ones. When the group of messages is received, the e-mail program combines them into one message. 1. On the Tools menu, click Accounts. 2. On either the Mail or News tab, click Properties. 3. On the Advanced tab, select the Break apart messages larger than x KB check box and then enter the maximum file size the server will allow. ________________________________ From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joan Muir Sent: Friday, September 07, 2007 11:01 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Still problems with attachments Sorry, Chris, I should have said that this happens with attachments I send to anyone. In other words, I daren't send anything with audio or pictures to any of my friends. Even tried sending them to myself with the same result. This perplexes me. Best wishes, Joan. ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Hallsworth <mailto:christopherhallsworth71@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, September 07, 2007 8:47 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Still problems with attachments Hi, Perhaps the recipient told their e-mail client to break apart messages larger than a specific size. By default Outlook Express sets this to 60 KB per account. If you ask your friend to go into their account settings and look for an option that is related to this, and uncheck this, that should solve the problem. Since you didn't indicate your friend's e-mail client, I can't give the specific details. Hope that helps.

When I try sending attachments containing audio files or pictures, the recipient gets up to 20 copies of an email but no attachment or one which can't be opened. Is there something I can do to sort this out? Best wishes, Joan. __________ NOD32 2513 (20070907) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com
