Hi,
I may be corrected, but there's no function in TB! know to me splitting large
mails automatically like OE can do.
But this must not be a negative aspect :-)
It's very more compatible to split the large files by an archiver like RAR or
WinACE and send the parts manually (OK, it's more work to do) in several
mails, as the recipient is able to merge the parts regardless what MUA
(MailUserAgent) she/he is using.
It's also possible to pack/archive the PDF while splitting into a
self-extracting file, that way the recipient even does not need to have an
archiver to merge, but the .exe does automatically when opened.
I'd not suggest using WinZIP, as it's not possible to determine manually a
maximum size for splitting, I'd rather recommend WinRAR, because WinRAR is
able to handle manually set max-size.
Hope that helps in a way although it's not as comfortable as OE.

Sarcasm helps you avoid telling people what you really think of them.
