Large files

[Dwain]

Hello

I received an e-mail containing a very large file. Outlook
broke the file into 7 separate e-mails. I'm wondering how
do I put these parts back into one file so it's useful
again?


Thanks

Was it Outlook which did this, or could it have been the email client or
server of the person who sent it to you? Have you discussed this with
your correspondent?

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

The sender used Outlook Express. It looks like it was

done by Express and not the service provider.

"Help" in Outlook Express (version in XP) says as below. Maybe first
step is for your colleague to change settings to not break apart the
message and see if it goes through.

It says "the email program combines them into one message". I don't
know how that works in Outlook. Maybe you have to Outlook express to
receive this mail.

===========
To send large messages

Many e-mail and news servers limit the size of the messages you can
receive and send. Usually this limit is one megabyte (1 MB) per message,
including all attached files.

With Outlook Express, you can send large messages or files to e-mail and
news servers that have size limits, by breaking the messages into
smaller ones. When the group of messages is received, the e-mail program
combines them into one message.

On the Tools menu, click Accounts.
On either the Mail or News tab, click Properties.
On the Advanced tab, select the Break apart messages larger than x KB
check box and then enter the maximum file size the server will allow.

Outlook did not do this, the sender did. I think your best bet is to use
Notepad and cut/paste the various bodies from the messages, appending them
in Notepad, save the result and use a tool like UUD32WIN
(http://my.execpc.com/~mspankus/) to extract the original file.
