Sooooooooooo a week or two ago,

My boss Mike was having trouble converting a wav file to a mp3. Easy, WMA, just adjust a setting, easy-schmeasy-done. So after that I went to help him email the mp3, but there was some sort of issue and I did something (I didnt think I did anythnig wrong? but apperiently I did, ). First of all I have no idea exactly what I did, it wasn't anything complicated, I just forgot. But now whenever he sends attachments of any decent sizes (mostly mp3's) they get sent in parts.

Heres an examply of a message title:
instead of:
"The Pillocks new track"

I recieve:
"The Pillocks new track 1/32"
"The Pillocks new track 2/32"
"The Pillocks new track 3/32"
"The Pillocks new track 4/32"
"The Pillocks new track 5/32"
"The Pillocks new track 6/32"
"The Pillocks new track 7/32"
..............


Does anyone know waht I did, and how to resolve this issue? (His bands name is The Pillocks)


Thanks

I know, 2x post, but I thought i'd refresh the topic just in casr that anyone has any ideas.

Mr. Pink, though I haven't looked into your specific problem one thought comes to mind, that is that most e-mail attachments seem to limited to around 1Mb, so if you're trying to send something larger it may be breaking it down by default, this is if you're not sending a link to a host server for downloading. Just a thought man, I have zero experience sending music as attachments but I thought I'd get the ball rolling fer ya! Am curious about this too, like can you zip or compress audio files fro transfer? dunno. btw that was a hilarious Cheers episode, great logic (sort of) in a warm fuzzy sort of way, now where the heck did I put my beer?

So, curiousity got da better of me and I went a googlin', after several hundred dead ends I found the sort of thing you were wondering about at this forum.> http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=578647 Mayhaps there is some info there you could use? Hope it helps.

Darned edit timer, sorry for the multiple posts here lol, and another for you here> http://www.usonyx.net/large_email.shtml Which explained some things I did not know but may get ya pointed in the right direction.

*sigh* maybe one of the wonderful mods could merge this mess for me? Look into yousendit.com for e-mailing large files (up to 25Mb I believe). Thats it man, made enough of a mess of this thread, I go now. Still curious though for what others have used or come up with.
Cheers!

What were you sending e-mails with? Also, it's true that most mail servers have a maximum attachment size, which is usually 10MB nowadays.

Hey hey hey,

I just got back from a weekend of camping on the sunshine coast, weather was quite wet, but camping was still fun however. The base of Mt. Elphinstone is a good place to be . Anyways, unfortunatly, the solution is still yet to be found. I know OE has a size limit on emails, but the files were mp3's and below the limit (3MB-4MB), also, he has sent files that size before and it worked just fine.

Thanks for looking into it Serges.

my bro, ' Big Rob' , an infrequent but wise member here, spent some quality time this weekend with me, and the rest of my disfunctional family. Anyhoo, I asked him of yur problem and he said a very bright thing, and that was that it was not the sender, but the reciever. If I am not mistaken there is a setting in your IT options that changes 'how' your mail is recieved, I would maybe go check that out mon. If I understood it properly (and I am sure I shall be corrected) it is something like 'Recieve E-mails as package', now, I could be just drunk and misunderstanding this, and running a dino OS I can' find it, but in XP there are hidden options from what I barely comprehend. Please let us know if you have resolved this or are still having problems..... we can, and shall, dig deeper.
Cheers Mon!

Serge

I have a very good feeling you are right Serges. no noe else has complained of this issue (of the people Mike sent the mp3's too). It very well may be my problem. I tried searching for some sort of option all over and couldn't find 'Recieve E-mails as package' or something along those lines, but I will keep searching.

Thanks for the help

Hey no probs, I am wracking my brain here trying to remember what exactly he said and to no avail, but I think it is like you browser options where there is a vertical list with boxes you check or not. One of those gives you a 'how your attachments are' file type thing. Oh lordy will someone else please jump in here and give the man a hand LOL!
I'll give him a holler tomorrow and either get his opine or get him back here, sheesh. Could maybe trade you guys ph nos as he is in Ladner, I will ask him if its ok if ok wit you, there is IM too. GN!

ahhhhh, I think I love you. lol.

Thanks for all the help, that would be great. Email is the best way to get hold of me. Ill PM you my addy.

Thanks again boss.

I was just thinkin' about "Break apart messages larger than" which is under........
Tools | Accounts | Properties | Advanced. in OE.

cheers,
Bigrob

Baah, I use hotmail but use OE to access my account. Under Tools | Accounts | Properties, there is no Advanced tab. I checked all the tabs and the other accounts tabs (just for kicks) and nothing. Oh well, I guess I will just have to buy a mac, jkjk, but no worries, its not too big of a deal I guess, its just frustrating.

Thanks for trying.

Hey, dunno if this will work, but you've got nothing to lose, right? :

1. Open OE
2. On the <b>Tools</b> menu, click on <b>Accounts</b>.
3. Click on the <b>Mail</b> tab, and then click <b>Properties</b>.

Then, there should be an <b>Advanced</b> tab, click on that, then check the "Break apart messages larger than x KB" setting.

Hope that helps a little.

Post back, so I can know if I need to search a little more?
