I have recently gotten Windows Vista. I make alot of video's and email them
to family and friends. I was able to do this with Windows XP but with
Windows Vista
I get a message saying it is too large. My question is how do I change my
email setting so I am able to send bigger attachments??
thank you much, Barb

==============================
I would sugggest that you upload the
files to a site like the following. Then all
you have to send to your recipients is
a link and they can download the file
anytime they wish.

"YouSendIt"
http://www.yousendit.com/

All you have to do is enter an e-mail
address in the "To:" (Recipient) field
and click the "Browse" button to select
the file you wish to upload. Then click
the "Send It" button.

The next screen that appears will give
you the download link. Just copy/paste
it into the message to your recipients

I'd guess that the message is coming from the email server, not your
client. The plain fact is that the email system is not the right
distribution medium for huge files. Take John Inzer's advice and put
the file someplace where your friends can access it, then send them
the URL.
