When i go to down load it a message come up" the file may not be supported by aol" it than tells me that "aol will try to open it as a text file" it comes back to me saying it is to large" Why is this happening? and what do i do to correct it. |

Melvyn Is your email a hot mail account? I have heard other people say that some images are just too large to go into a hot mail account - so you will need an alternative email address. I could be wrong - but then somebody on here will know for definite. Gaynor |

The small free email addresses won't accommodate large files as far as I understand. Usually these are picture or video files. Not sure if it will work, but can the person resend the attachment to you in a compressed (or zip) file? This will make the file smaller and may allow you to open it. Otherwise, I think you will have to pay for an email account that will take larger attachments. Dee X |
