I keep getting an error message for any outgoing mail >10KB. How .

[Guest]

Am using outlook 2003 and just recently converted from another e-mail
application. I seem to be limited in the size of my outgoing e-mail so can't
send anything with attachments or significant text in the body of the
message. I get an error message that reads: "The operation failed". I have
tried changing from the default text editor of Word to Outlook and this does
not help the problem. I suspect that there is some setting that I just can't
find to adjust for this ...but perhaps it is something else. THANKS

Ask your ISP if they set a limit on their mail size?

the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
