Your email storage limit is 100MB.
You can send & receive messages up to 20MB.

However based on my experience, the 20 MB is actually 15 MB tops as a raw file, when the HTML wrapping is added in the email process.

491837 2006-10-16 22:12:00 It can be so true B,that HTML wrapping can diminish your allocation over and above the raw allocation,so due consideration needs to be taken here. Cicero (40)

You have probably exceeded the recipient's email storage allocation and now they can receive no email, from anyone. :groan: Often there are limits on input, and not on output: input clogs "our" disks, output is "someone else's problem".

Put it on a CD and post it. They'll hate you. :D

Well I would have, but pigeon post couldn't quite get it from NZ to the East Coast of the US in the allotted time frame. Even allowing for my serial stuff-ups I still beat the pigeon by about 6 days.

It will, of course, be on a CD somewhere in the US by now, but the loadless (and luckless) pigeon will still be somewhere over the Tasman on two wings and a very big prayer. On the postive side, it won't meet any cats out there. :D
