I have asked questions about why OE suddenly will not allow me to embed
larger files into new messages in several newsgroups.

Have you posted to an OE6-specific newsgroup about the issue?
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...tlooke xpress The OE stationery groups have migrated to a microsoft hosted private news server some months ago. The private server can be accessed using the following settings in a new news account: Server: privatenews.microsoft.com Account Name: privatenews\stationery Password: stationery The only reason it's on a private server is that Microsoft does not allow posting of messages larger than 100 KB to pubic newsgroups. Since many stationeries are often much larger, since they include multiple images and sound files, the use of a private newsgroups was set up to allow them to continue with their creations. Broadband is certainly an asset since many of the postings now exceed 400-500 KB routinely making them difficult for telco users to download. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (Shell, IE/OE) & Security, AH-VSOP Inside Outlook Express http://www.insideoe.com leeray wrote: I have asked questions about why OE suddenly will not allow me to embed larger files into new messages in several newsgroups.

Yes I have and here they are. Everyone is doin there best. This must be a
tough nut to crack. I have used OE for years, been able to embed huge wav files. Now it's suddenly limiting me to under 200kbs. Been searching MS knowlege base and 3 newsgroups as well as Googling.

Have you posted to an OE6-specific newsgroup about the issue? news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...tlooke xpress The OE stationery groups have migrated to a microsoft hosted private news server some months ago. The private server can be accessed using the following settings in a new news account: Server: privatenews.microsoft.com Account Name: privatenews\stationery Password: stationery The only reason it's on a private server is that Microsoft does not allow posting of messages larger than 100 KB to pubic newsgroups. Since many stationeries are often much larger, since they include multiple images and sound files, the use of a private newsgroups was set up to allow them to continue with their creations. Broadband is certainly an asset since many of the postings now exceed 400-500 KB routinely making them difficult for telco users to download. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (Shell, IE/OE) & Security, AH-VSOP Inside Outlook Express http://www.insideoe.com leeray wrote: I have asked questions about why OE suddenly will not allow me to embed larger files into new messages in several newsgroups.

For images: Embed | Image (or something like that ... 4th option from the left in main - menu) (using a Dutch OE version here) (I'm quite positive this is the same method you use for embedding your files) If this wav plays for you, then we know we have to look into your OE settings if there is anything prohibiting you from doing the same Helen **************** "Bruce Hagen" wrote in message ...
