Re: Sending a large attachment.

You say the photos are small.
Are you referring to the height and width or are you referring to the file
size of the photos?
The photos should be reduced in file size before inserting into the Word
doc.

When you attach nontext to an email, the nontext has to be encoded as text
which increases the file size by 33 1/3%.
Your 60,000 kb attachment could actually be 80,000 kb.
