Hi Glenda,

Your ISP might have a size limitation on sent messages, or the large message
is causing a problem in another way. I would suggest not using anti-virus
message scan (for incoming or outgoing e-mail), which is another likely
cause of a connection problem. Normal A/V system scan will still fully
protect a PC.

Large messages can be broken into smaller parts and combined at the
receiving end. For more information on how to do this see "Breaking up Large
Messages" and "Combine and Decode" in Outlook Express help. Notify your
daughter that a multi-part message is on the way and let her know it will
need to be combined into a single message after all the pieces arrive.

I have a horrendous dial up connection where I live in the country... I
believe burro's take the emails by back pack to my recipients.
I want to send my daughter a 2.4 MB mini video from my camera, but it keeps
getting hung up. I get a message saying something to the effect, "your
connection has timed out, do you want to wait, or cancel?"
When I click on wait, the message comes back after just minutes. After an
hour of waiting, I give up.
My service provider is no help.
Can anyone help me??
Thank you,
Glenda
