---------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - The Microsoft Network versions 1.0, 1.05, 1.2, 1.3, 2.0, 2.5
---------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you send an e-mail message with an attachment to an America Online
address, the message may not be delivered. When this occurs, you do not
receive a non-delivery message.

CAUSE
=====

America Online does not accept messages with attachments that exceed 1 MB.
This limit applies to the size of the attachment after it is encoded using
UUENCODE, which generally increases the size of the attachment. MSN, The
Microsoft Network, automatically encodes atttachments with UUENCODE before
sending the message.

RESOLUTION
==========

Make sure that attachments are smaller than 1 MB, so that they do not
exceed this size limit after being encoded.
