Guest mikeu Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Having problems with e-mail. Whwn I send an e-mail with an attchment it replicates itself multiple times. Then they merge into a single message which when opened looks OK. Takes for ever to download depending on file size. What's going on, help. thanks Quote

If my Crystal Ball� was working, then you can change this setting. Tools>Accounts Highlight your email account. Click Properties and go to the Advanced tab. Make sure "Break apart messages larger than __ KB" is not checked. OK>Close. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic! FAQ - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ Quote
Guest mikeu Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Thanks so much. I'm using outlook. I think you hit it on the nail. I thought I had a virus, found none.
