Thanks, when I called ihug broadband technical support they said there was
no limit but I knew for a fact that there was as a 14Mb file was rejected
because it exceeded the file limit, anyhow strangely they could not give me
an exact limit but like you they said that under 10Mb might be ok, I wanted
a black and white answer but after going away to ask on 2 5 minute occasions
they could not give it to me so the guy then suggested breaking the message
apart using the outlook express feature that allows this but he could not
say what the file size limit would then be on each broken part(packet?) of
the message and whether there would be a limit on the amount of messages
that could be received at once because if it has to be broken into kilobyte
sized packets my 1 message will appear as hundreds of messages and I wonder
if there would be some problem with that as it may look like a spam attack.
I am sending by dial-up so you can appreciate that I don't want the mail to
be rejected again.

My email is made up of attachments of about 1.8Mb each and due to the nature
of this email it would be very inconvenient to break these attachments up
over multiple emails. I have never had this problem in the past and I have
sent files bigger than this, obviously file limits vary from isp to isp.

Most ISPs do have a mailbox size limitation. You will not get 100MB or
200MB or anything like it as you do with Yahoo or the like.

Email is not an ideal means of sending such large files, it would be a
better idea to look at another way of sending these files.

It is not possible to send any other way in this particular circumstance,
otherwise I would have, if I can't do it by email I will have to send it
physically on a cdr.

I'm not sure if its already been mentioned or not, but.....

Have you tried compressing the file? Winzip or WinRar (better compression)
are a couple of options. Of course the issue then becomes the receiver needs
to decompress the file - Winzip allows you to create a self-executing
compressed file. Of course then their AV will probably spit the dummy, lol.
