Size of message

[phtomita]

Hi,
I am using Outlook 2007 and somehow I am getting a huge size (1MB) emails
recently (at least is the size that Outlook mentions) for small emails (10KB).

Is there some issue with some path that was done recently, or non Outlook
email, or Outlook 2010 or whatever.
The thing is, it takes long to show the reading pane preview and also to
open the email. It is really FRUSTRATING.

Any known issue on this? Fixes?
Thank you

Does "getting" mean receiving or sending of e-mails? If receiving, the
sender controls how large are their e-mails. If they are huge then complain
to the sender. If sending, perhaps you are slapping on a signature with a
big image in it.

If the problem is receiving huge e-mails, you could use the webmail
interface to your e-mail account to check up on the mail server what is the
size of the e-mail before retrieving it into Outlook. Either use the
webmail interface while Outlook is unloaded, or configure the e-mail account
in Outlook to "leave messages on server" so they remain up on the server in
your mailbox for you to look at them there (but if you use the "leave
messages on server" option then you probably also want to use the "delete N
days after retrieved" option to make sure your mailbox doesn't get full due
to lingering old messages sitting in it).

If the size column in Outlook shows an e-mail is 1MB in size, why do YOU
think it is only 10KB in size?
