Solved Windows Mail Sending Multi Part MIME for All Pics

[katherinelm]

Hi all, I'm new to this group but I have an issue I haven't seen covered in any of the tech forums currently. Hoping someone can tell me why I might be having this problem now? Whenever I send e-mail via Windows Mail and either forward or attach a picture my recipients are getting multi-part MIME encoded e-mails. So my recipients are getting say 29 separate e-mails with each one containing 1 part of the total for a single picture. Some of my friends received 49 separate e-mails for one 1.3MB picture I attached. This problem started with embedded pictures in an e-mail that were forwarded and broken up into smaller MIME encoded e-mails (23 to be exact for a smaller picture.) I decided to try and save the image off on my local drive and then attach it as a JPEG. Did the same thing! Twenty three separate e-mails received for the one picture. Tried attaching a regular JPEG to an e-mail (something I have done frequently in the past without a problem) and it also is being sent in 1 part each of 46 separate e-mails. No settings have been changed and now I can't send images at all without this problem occurring? Help! -Kathi-

Fortunately, I found the answer to my question posited here! Thanks Hal!

"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."
