If you have the file selected you can do a command-I to get info on the
file and the Size field will tell you how big it is. In general 10MB and
under should go through ok with most email providers. The internet
standards for MIME encoded attachments have no size limits but that
doesn't mean one service provider or another doesn't impose one. MIME
also adds about a third again of overhead so emailing a 3MB file will
take about 4MB of space, pushing you over the 10MB limit sooner. I know
Outlook and some other email clients have options to automatically zip
attachments but I was unaware of Apple Mail doing this. I have heard it
will zip a folder. Are you attaching the actual file or a folder of files?

How big are the files you are trying to send? Maybe something is trying to
'help' you along the way by zipping the files.

Hello,
I am having extreme difficulty sending word and/or excel files to people who
have older versions of windows. It sends them as .zip files instead of .xls,
csv, or .doc. why could this be?
