Why doesn't Microsoft put an attachment size filter on Outlook Express

How would you suggest that MS does that? That option can be incorporated into a Message Rule by the individual user.

Wasn't he referring to mail messages? If so, whether it stays on the server
may depend on whether he selected "Delete it from Server" in his filter
options.

Hi Gary

I can't see any mention of mail in the original posting - just the reference to Outlook express.
