Title: email problem
Post by: tomatoada on August 04, 2009, 08:07:52
I have received an email this morning which only shows the name and an address.   Above it says    This message is to long to display and only 768KB are shown.  Never met this before.  Any ideas?  Sender is at work and I am so curious.   Thanks.

What email client are you using?  The message may be malformed in some way - are you on an Mac perchance..

I am on" hotmail" and she uses "talk".  We have emailed each other for months on these.   Thanks for quick reply.

bit of an odd one Tomatoada!  Hotmail has a 10mb limit so it's not that.  I'd get her to resend the message again to see if the error occurs again.  I suspect it's malformed or corrupt in some way and if it doesnt happen again then put it down to experience!!
