John, Get an account with a regular Internet Service Provider. AOL has decided that its members aren't entitled to receive files greater than a certain size (I think it's about 3.5MB); and either truncates them or rejects them. It's possible that AOL could give you a larger restriction or remove the restriction altogether. I don't know what their policy is. But the large file you think you received is probably not all there and may not be usable. Ian.

John I don't know about AOL. But. I recently had a similar problem with my provider. The email I was sent was too big. I called my provider and they doubled my allowed space on the server. If you know who sent you the email you can contact them, requesting the large file be split into two smaller files. I never send a email including attachments over 2 meg. for this reason. It's not a perfect world, but there are workarounds. 3d
