The message when forwarded should not change in size due to re-encoding of the attachment(it was already encoded when it was sent). The only size increase should be for the additional text that the user forwarding enters.
Exchange 2003 does not decode and save messages in raw binary mode, but leave the message as it was sent. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Crowley Sent: Thursday, May 15, 2008 4:47 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: email attachments double in size Double sounds a little high but a substantial increase can be expected due to encoding. Ed Crowley MCSE+Internet MVP Freelance E-Mail Philosopher Protecting the world from PSTs and Bricked Backups!T -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Aristotle Zoulas Sent: Thursday, May 15, 2008 1:13 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: email attachments double in size Hello, in our Exchange 2003/Outlook 2003 environment one of our users is having the following problem. When he forwards an email with an attachment within the company, the attachment doubles in size (for the sender.) For example, user 'A' has and email in their inbox with a 5mb attachment. He then forwards that email user 'B'. The email in User 'A's' inbox becomes 10mb. Under normal circumstances the user would not care except that his mailbox fills twice as fast. Thanks in advance. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=exchange To subscribe: http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .com Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
