Re: multi part messages

Go to 'Tools|Accounts|(your email account)|Properties|Advanced tab' and have
a look at the line labeled "Break apart messages larger than..."; if you
find a check mark in the checkbox, click the box to remove the checkmark and
try sending again.

I suspect that you have WM set to break apart large messages at
Tools>accounts>select your account>properties>advanced tab.

The default is set at 60KB.

You can try sending your message again with that checkbox cleared.

Your ISP may have a maximum sending size limit in operation and reject
excessively large attachments?

Or You can set the break apart setting at say 500KB and that should be OK

Remember that WM adds around 33% to the size of attachments.

The 50 / 60 Parts of the message that was sent can be made into one mail by
selecting each part and then on the Message menu choose 'Combine & Decode,
then double click the resultant attachment to open the mail as you sent it.

You should advise your recipient of how to do 'Combine & Decode'.

If you are unsure then please get back.
