I have exactly the same problem as this - all other attachments are fine, but
pdfs will not send or be received.
Other computers in the office, on the same network, do not have the problem!
I feel it must be somewhere in the way the computer is set up, rather than
the program? But i dont know! Any advice?

I'm correcting my original issue to say that it's not just larger pdf's that
won't mail, it's ANY emails of more than a megabyte or so. Per Will's
question back in May, my ISP limits me to ten MB, so that's not the issue.
This happens ONLY on my laptop with OUTLOOK 2003; my desktop with exactly the
same program and setut characteristics has no problem sending larger files.
Will, my turnaround time tosend/receive is15 minutes, and more than adequate
to be able to send a couple of meg's in a single email. And I don't scan
outgoing email with virus protection. Joe, I think you're on to it...it
seems like it has to be the computer's limitations/config and not the ISP or
some other outside issue. Wish I was more help....still haven't fixed my
major headache and have no idea what to do next. Any ideas or insights
would be greatly appreciated.

They simply will not go out if they're larger in size. This isn't a server issue---if it was, sending the larger files from my desktop (not the laptop) wouldn't work either (and sending from my desktop works well). It's obviously something resident in the laptop or its software....
Any add'l ideas are always appreciated. Thanks.........
