743263 2009-01-30 03:08:00 I am using Outlook from Office 2007.

I have a 4G e-mail trying to download; I just really do not want it!

How can I stop/remove that e-mail from downloading (Windows Internet Explorer) so that following e-mails get a chance?

The only way I can see is to block the sender (my son) as junk e-mail and then reinstate him, but is there another way, especially if the sender is unknown and I do not want the e-mail on my system?

With which ISP?

It is normally polite to Email the person and advise that you are sending xyz file and it is so big.

They could send back saying I want it or not as the case may be.

FTP is a good for that. Email was never intended for use to transfer large files, even in these days "as fast as your line permits" broadband.
