You may need to send it via FTP transfer rather than as an email attachment. Quite a few ISPs limit your postal box size (my cable provider limits to 10MB) meaning that it rejects anything beyond 10MB, whether a single file, or the aggregate of unread, saved, and being sent mail.

The other option would be to break the file into smaller components and send them incrementally. You might be able to do this with a ZIP file program or using one of the RAR programs that are used for newsgroups.

Whether Outlook has further limitations, I don't know as I won't use it.

I definately agree, FTP is the way to be for large files. There are just too too many possible ways for something to hose the email process. And I am sure that the paper has an FTP site. If not you could just upload them to a webhost and send them the address.

When it comes to FTP software alot of people get freaked out/intimidated for some reason. I use SmartFTP and it works like a champ. It really is as simple as it comes. I mean hey, I can use it.

Alan, you cannot send a 11meg attachment with email it will exceed mail file size limit as stated. There are lots of places to upload to such as tripod which is free, I think you get 100megs of storage space there (I have a free account there) but Tripod is only one of many 100 meg free sites. If you will require sending this size files often you may also want to get a off site storage account somewhere where you can ftp your files for your clients to download from. As mentioned earlier ask the paper if you can ftp to their web space as they probably have some arrangement for such a thing. I use cute ftp and it does not get any more basic than that little program but it is very easy and reliable.

that's how your clients would access your files, you give that web address and they just click on file they want to download.

Hope that helps.

Yahoo just increased the amount of storage you can have.
The e-mail can now handle 10mg attachments; total storage is now 100mg. They have a feature called "Briefcase" which, with a 100mg limit, should handle your needs.
Good luck. :)

...??

A newspaper needed an 11 meg file to print from ?

The largest photo file I've ever sent to a paper was about 1.5 megs .... did the paper actually tell you they needed that big a file for printing ??

But I'll agree with everyone else - don't e-mail that kind of file size. FTP is the way to handle that.
