Hi All,

I got a call from a customer that whenever her boss sends out
and eMail with an attachment from Outlook (version unknown),
that the eMail will send out up to 20 times. With no
attachment, only once.

Boy what a difference it makes to be "on site".

2) the attachments with the issue had one thing in common:
they were large 10 MB to 18 MB.

On troubleshooting, I found that someone had put his Outlook's
"Schedule and automatic send/receive every" to 3 minutes.

A 18 MB attachment takes 25 minutes to send. (His Internet
needs an upgrade, which is my next call after I finish writing
this.) And every three minutes it would start over and resend
the guy.

I set it back to the default of 30 minutes.

How interesting!
One to remember.

Indeed. And interesting to hear there are still cases where an 18M
attachment takes 25 minutes.

Science isn't about being right every time, or even most of the time. It is
about being more right over time and fixing what it got wrong.
