Partial Messages May Not Be Combined When Received

You may receive multiple parts of a message in Internet Mail that are not combined upon retrieval.

The messages were not all received at the same time and therefore are not combined.

Ask the sending party to send the message again, if possible without breaking up the message.

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Some gateways or Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) servers reject messages that are too large. Therefore, options to break apart messages over a certain size are needed. Internet Mail can send large messages as separate messages to be reassembled, rather than as one large message.
