THOUSAND answers to this question going back many months.

Also please note:
this newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003(beta) from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number. Good luck!

G'Day Tim,

As a rule, try to get your students to Compress(Zip) Files
and THEN attach them. You could do the same yourself.

In the long run, you will all save - its safe and smart, and
your e-mails will be smaller.

See:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;291387
for more information on OE 6.0.

I use WinZip, See: https://secure.safesite.com/cgi-bin/wzc1?wza
for pricing - a single user licence is $US29, but if you organise
your students you can a site licence for less (For 50 Users -
$14 each).
