Can anyone point me in the right direction here. Our not for profit group uses a couple of Yahoo groups (like WAMUG used to be) - Yahoo puts a limit on mail size and too big a message returns an error:
> We are unable to deliver the message from <xxxxxxx> > to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. > > Your message was not delivered because it was too large. > Yahoo! Groups does not accept messages (including attachments) larger > than 1 megabyte. To resend your message, please compress or > delete any attachments so that the total message size is less > than 1 megabyte. OK, I accept Yahoo has to set limits and it's very infrequently that we run into the problem - my question is can I tell the size of the message before sending? Eg I just sent a message with a jpeg attachment but wanted to copy the message to our committee (we have a committee only yahoo group set up) - the finder showed the attachment to be 880k and the message was only a couple of paragraphs so I thought it would be OK, but it was still rejected and on examining the sent message I noticed that the mail window showed the attachment as 1MB - I presumed that this was just an approximation or does the email program increase the size of the attachment? I guess my real question is how can I see the size of the total message to see if it exceeds 1MB BEFORE I actually send it and then have it rejected.
