Problems with Windows 7 and email send stalling

When I send from my two computers running Windows 7 - one 32 bit one 64,

If I have a very large text message or an attachment of any size (even a

screen shot) the outgoing email message will stall. My old desktop

computer running XP does not have this problem.



Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Richard

Stating the Mail Client you're using and if the installed anti-virus

application is configured to scan outgoing & incoming mail?

Windows 7 doesn't come with an e-mail client. Nope, not one e-mail

program. You have to install one. Are to guess that your *e-mail*

client is the same program used as your *newsreader* client?



Did you yet find out what is the anti-abuse quotas at whomever is your

UNIDENTIFIED e-mail provider regarding the maximum size you can send for

an e-mail? The size of the original file that you attach is irrelevant.

All e-mail, and I mean all of it, gets sent as plain text. HTML is

text. RTF is text with a .dat attachment. Attachments are encoded into

long text strings in MIME sections within the body of your message.

It's all text. That encoding into text of an attachment will bloat the

size of the attached content by 137%, or far more. Save a draft of your

e-mail and then look in the Drafts folder under the Size column to see

what will be the actual size of your e-mail when you send it. Then

consider if it is under the max-size-per-message anti-abuse quota at

your unidentified e-mail provider.
