Hi Raoul!

Hotmail has a limit in file size for attachments. That means that you cannot
send large or they will be refused. I think the largest attachment hotmail
can handle is exactly 1024kb, but I haven't been using that service for a
while so I'm not certain. I doubt that Hotmail will be changing their
one-meg policy anytime soon but you may try to modify your .jpeg images in
screen size or increase their rate of compression in some image manipulation
sofware.

I hope this helps!

Not if you're going to be rude no....Have you considered that no one knows
the answer? If you're expecting assistance by email be prepared to be
disappointed as it's not going to happen. You may have to wait a week or so
for the right person to come along...Posting in the right group usually
helps too....As far as I can see your post has nothing whatsoever to do with
Windows Messenger...
