Message to large but its only one word "test"

I receive this error message every time I email my friend. I can send one word only and get the same message with nothing attached. I am emailing from my home computer. Vista, Windows mail.

Any ideas. Thanks Mitch

Hi mihali and welcome to Vista Forums

Do you get this problem only with this recipient, or do you get it with others as well? With this particular recipient, can s/he email you successfully?

Only this recipient I get the error message. I cant really say when he emails me because it been a month or so..
