Large Attachments
A friend of mine who is still on a dial up connection receives some large
attachments, like pps from friends and wants to limit the size she can receive, what is considered a max size of file. TIA B.W. |

There is no max size, other than limits set by the ISP. The favoured option is if the ISP has a web access, then set a filter on the web site to move large messages to a created folder. Check occasionally, download or delete as suits? Message rules in OE can be tried, but I do not hold much hope of success. mac |

I think they want advice in what would be an appropriate size for them to
allow to be downloaded as they are paying for the time online to download these emails with attachments. I thought it would have a lot to do with their connection speed. B.W.

It's all a matter of what they are willing to put up with.
As a rough estimate for dial-up download, figure about 100 KB per minute. In my case, I've set my OE not to download anything over 500 KB. I can then check larger things via web mail. And if there's something over that that I want, I temporarily disable the OE rule. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "B.W." (del xxx) wrote in message ...
