when my messages are to big for my host email site restriction how
would i
send that message in parts. how do you break up a message by file
size to be
sent at once
Not possible in Outlook. Stop sending huge e-mails to your
recipients. What if they don't want your big attachments? They end
up wasting the time and bandwidth to download content they don't want.
There are still a vast number of dial-up users of e-mail services.
Save the file(s) on an online storage location (personal web page, FTP
server, online storage, whatever) and send the recipient a link to
your files. Do you think the recipients really appreciate you filling
up their mailbox and consuming their disk quota so they can no longer
received any further e-mails?
Outlook Express has the ability to slice up an e-mail into multiple
parts. Outlook does not. Outlook Express has support for NNTP where
slicing up messages is often normal but it is NOT normal for e-mails.
Some anti-spam filters will tag multipart e-mails as spam or possible
infected as it is an old ploy to disconnect the spam message or virus
amongst multiplart e-mails. There is no guaranteed delivery for
e-mail, so if one of your parts is lost or corrupted then you have to
resend the entire message again (unless you can figure out just the
part in which e-mail multipart had the missing or corrupted content).

There are lots of other places to store files online and then just
provide a link to them in your e-mails. Recipients can then decide
whether or not they will download your file, the e-mail is smaller so
it doesn't consume gobs of space in their e-mail client's message
store, it won't consume their disk quota for their mailbox and
possible render their mailbox inert (no more e-mails accepted), it
eliminates getting your e-mails delivered at the same domain with the
same content from being detected as spam (i.e., bulk mail to multiple
recipients).
E-mail is not and never will be a replacement for FTP. Stop trying to
e-mail for file transfers. Be kind to your recipients: send them a
link, not the file.
