pdf files - can you help?

Yeah, it looks like we're not going to resolve this.  If anyone else has some thoughts on this, please speak up.

Just changed break apart message length to longer than 120kb - was at default 60kb

Have you tried disabling that option altogether?  I've never used it; never saw a need to use it.

Do you also have Outlook, part of MS Office, on your computer? 

I can send and receive other attachments Ok in express -

Are any of these files as large as your PDF files?

[Dawn]

no - don't have outlook

 sorry didn't see second question - yes about the same size

And, this:

You could install another email client and try sending PDF attachments from it.  Two options: Windows Live Mail and Mozilla’s Thunderbird.  In my mind, there's some doubt that the problem is in OE.  This could be a way of proving whether it is or not.

Good News!

Unticked the break apart large files box accounts/properties/advanced

Now sending pdf files normally

Big sigh of relief - as I have tried Thunderbird twice and never got on with it - until this last problem express has been a breeze!

Thanks for all your ideas!

That is good news.  Glad to hear that problem is resolved.
