Hi,

Would like someone to tell me , how on Earth do u E-mail a big file?

I have a 14bmb .pdf file, but I "archived " it and now it is 9 mb

How can I E-mail this file to a friend?

Is there a way to do this?

I use Apple Mail program for all E-mails

Thanks

D

If the file you want to send is too large, one way is to upload it to a
place such as RapidShare and then send the link to your friend to DL.

There are alternatives to RS but I like them, they're free to use and
allow posts of up to 100Mb

upload it and send the url is better net etiquette.

An alternative is to split it (using Split&Concat, or some such) and
send the bits in a series of mails. There are a few ways of doing that.

Hi D,

have you actually tried mailing it? It often depends on the ISP and
such. I commonly exchange emails of this order of magnitude; ex. 9.5 MB
only yesterday
