When you send an attachment, or even an e-mail with a picture embedded, the
size increases by 35 - 40%. So you are sending something over 3MB.

If you go to Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced, you can check
yo Break apart messages larger than XX size. Your daughter must be using
Outlook Express or an e-mail client that is compatable with this sending
format.

For her to see the complete video, she would do this:

To combine multipart messages
Sometimes, when a large message (one that contains pictures, audio files, or
other large objects) is sent in e-mail or posted to a newsgroup, it is
broken into smaller files and displayed as several messages. You can combine
the messages to recreate the original message and display it in Outlook
Express.
Select all of the messages that are part of the original message (each part
will usually have a number).
On the Message menu, click Combine and Decode.
If needed, reorder the parts in the correct sequence.
Note
After you combine and decode the message, it is displayed in a separate
window. The message will continue to be displayed in the message list as
several smaller messages. To save the recreated message, on the File menu,
click Save As.

That said, you still will probably have difficulty sending the message. You
are probably better off burning it to CD and let one of the *burros* bring
it to her via Snail Mail.

...
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
