Size of new (empty) email message is nearly 1mb

[Yossi Dahan [MVP]]

Hi all

I'm using Outlook 2010 and suddently, for some reason, the size of a new
email I create is nearly 1mb.

This startedhappening on Wednesday morning (emails before that are very
small), but I'm not sure what I've done (if anything) to cause this.

Looking at the source of a sent email I can see that the stylesheet is HUGE,
it contains a very long list of entries such as

@list l0:level1
{mso-level-number-format:none;
mso-level-suffix:none;
mso-level-text:"";
mso-level-tab-stop:0cm;
mso-level-number-position:left;
margin-left:0cm;
text-indent:0cm;
mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";}

the last one in the file is @list l433:level9 so I assume there are about
14,000 of these entries...

Any ideas?

Some of the styles shown are preceded with "mso.." These look like those that
are automatically generated when Word is used to create a web page. My guess
is that you're using Word to create/edit email messages and that Word is
applying a default style-sheet. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with Outlook
2010 so this might be a red herring.
