Why attachments to bounce messages?

[Guest]

Why is it that if I send a mail with say a 2 MB Attachment, and it bounces
from one of the mail receipients ID, due to some reason, the bounce message
is not just plain text but is also 2 MB in size, with the original attachment
attached to it?

If the sender just knows that it has bounced and the reason, he knows what
he sent. So, why send the attachment back to him?

And how would this make a suggestion?

The mailserver being used decides how NDRs are send; not the client.

Ok Roady, you are right. Will post this on the Exchange Discussion Group
since the mailserver is MS Exchange. However, did you mean the bouncing
mailserver or the originating mailserver?

Thanks...pingaley

P.S The suggestion is for either the mailserver or the client to only
download the bounce message. Anyway, let usee what the Exchange MVP has to
say...
