370365 2005-07-07 23:16:00 Yesterday I received an email that took ages to download. I decided to reply to that person to let them know of my frustration, as it was sending I thought 'oh no' it's going to take ages to send so I stopped it, deleted it I thought & rung the person instead, anyway the said email was sitting somewhere in the system so anyway I had to let it send. There was no other way around the problem.
To save this happening again
Where would it have been hiding?
It wasn't showing in the Outbox or anywhere that I could find.
I have a feeling that AVG email scanner somehow grabbed it & took over even though I don't have it set to check outgoing mail.
Win ME
AVG7
OE 5
Thanks
Pauline.

Firstly, WinME can be upgraded to Outlook Express 6 + SP1 (or is it SP2 now?) as this will provide extra security for you seeing you still have OE 5.5.

You do not have to continue sending a cancelled email, why would they have "Cancel" as an option otherwise? Your half sent email was probably sitting in a temp file and was removed when you clicked cancel. No need to worry about it now.

I'm taking it that the email was so slow downloading because of the file size of an attachment? If you had clicked Reply instead of Forward, then attachments are not sent back therefore the email should of been much faster to send. If you did click Reply, then the email might of been done in "over the top" HTML (fancy fonts, backgrounds, graphics etc) which padded it out significantly. You do have the option of replying using Plain Text formatting which would of removed all the HTML content and reduced the file size right down.
