is there an attachment size warning setting?

[Gryphon]

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible with Outlook 2003 or 2007 to set a warning before sending for attachments over a certain size. Eudora had this ability and it was very useful.

For instance, if I'm writing an email and attach a file to send, if the attachment is over say 10mb, I'd like for Outlook to warn me of the attachment size before sending the message.

I've read some info that talks about MS mail server settings to accomplish this, but I don't have that ability. I would like for Outlook itself to see the attachment size and warn me.

Is this possible?

thanks very much!

Outlook doesn't have this feature. You might look for a third-party add-in
that might do it.

This VBA sample does the trick:

Open the VBA environment (alt+f11), double click "ThisOutlookSession" in the
project explorer (ctrl+r) and copy the code into ThisOutlookSession. Then
click Save.
