Default problem sending .wav attachement

I wasn't aware that OE would do that automatically. Mine certainly does not.

The beta on this is our service provider puts a 8MB cap on emails. So what
happend is Outlook invokded the option "break apart large files" and did
so
accordingly.

Both the sender's and recipient's ISPs place limits on maximum message
size. Any message must be under both limits.

Also, encoding necessary to send attachments adds about 40% overhead.
So if the ISP limits were 1 MB, the largest attachment you can send
without the break apart option would be about 700 KB.

My friend is using Outlook Express 6.0 and tried unchecking the break
apart
messages. However when he went to send with attachement, a message
appeared
saying the email was too long for one note.

We exchanged a very small 54kb wave file without a problem. It just
seems
the larger files are getting broken appart.

Thanks for any additional suggestions.

A friend is sending me a .wav file as an attachement, however the
email shows
up in my inbox as a number of separate emails filled with a solid
block of
random characters.

I suspect there is something going on with my friend's outlook as I
can send
.wav attachemnts to other people without problem.

Any explanation as to why this occurs and how to fix it?

Thanks,
chris
