Because your e-mail provider puts a limit on how large can be the
e-mails that you send, and you are exceeding that limit. Put the huge
files in online storage, like a web page, and send the link to your
recipients rather than consume their mailbox quota with huge e-mails.

Thanks for the timely response. However, I am still a bit confused. I know
that my ISP has a file limit. However; I have the same ISP as the person
that sent me the most recent email I was trying to forward. I firgured since
it was sent to me I could forward it on.

Got any additional ideas??

When you forwarded it, it gets a bit bigger. After all, you are
adding a bit more to the new email that you compose that contains the
original. How big is the email that is sitting in the Outbox? What
is the maximum message size quota enforced by your email provider?
