Terry, If you haven't managed to delete the file in your Outbox maybe the following might work. 1 Go into the Outbox and open the file. 2 Tab to the attachment and press delete on that. 3 Close the file and delete it. HTH and Seasons Greetings.

Hi there, I realise it is the size of the attachment that is the problem. I know it is far too big to send. My problem is, having originally made the mistake of trying to send an inordinately large attachment, I am now faced with the problem that I cannot get rid of it from my out box. What to do! As it happens, I have managed to convey the files to the person to whom the original E-mail was intended another way (on disk). How do I get this E-mail and attachment dislodged from my out box thus ending the circle of the program wanting to send what is an impossibly large posting.
