Hello.
We tried to email a newsletter created in Microsoft Word to 4000+
recipients. The size of the document we sent was 350K. When the email
actually went out, it had grown to 1MB, both in the Sent Items folder, and
in the recipients' folders.
The obvious happened - the daily Exchange log file in the server grew to a
massive size, and about half of the emails were returned, likely due to size
restrictions.
We're trying to figure out whether we can send an HTML formatted newsletter
to 4000 recipients, or if we need to do it in just plain text. Formatted
in HTML, it's around 34KB. In plain text, it's 24KB. We do prefer the
prettiness of HTML, but we also value server stability.
The big question that we can't answer, which will help us decide on how to
proceed is this:
When an email is Bc'd to 4000 recipients, how does that affect the email's
size? We can't figure out why the 350K document bloated to 1MB when it was
sent, and if that's a direct result of its header somehow containing all
that Bc information, then we should stick to the smallest email possible.
Does Bc info take up space in an email?
Many thanks in advance!
