Doesn't your ISP offer POP3 e-mail accounts? If so, use an e-mail client like Outlook Express or Eudora both are free.

First of all I would research and download an e-mail client or your PC probably already has Outlook Express or Netscape e-mail already installed. Call your ISP and get all the settings then you can send that huge 4MB e-mail with no problems (depending on your ISP's e-mail size limit).

Otherwise consisder FTP, ICQ, AIM, MSN, Bearshare, Morpheus some other direct means to transfer the e-mail.

You might try zipping it first -- lotsa files will compress a bunch. In my work (industrial controls), I send lotsa big files that compress down to 1/100th of the original size or even better.

Try www.winzip.com

trouble is..even if you COULD send an e-mail with that large and attachment, most ISP's will not let the person you're sending it to RECEIVE an e-mail that large.

isn't ftp or aol /icq transfer an option?

You do what mp3 websites do. You break the file(s) down into smaller ones and upload them to a free host. Rename them to something such as .gif or .jpg or even .htm(l) and tell the recipient to rename them back.

You could use winrar to specify the file sizes to make.

You can also do a file transfer through AIM. If you had AOL and were sending it to another memeber it could up to 16 mb and go through.

Why is everybody talking about POP? Sending and email is SMTP. Also most ISPs will easily accept a 4 meg attachment, the average limit is 5 or 10 megs.
