How to restrict the size of outgoing messages

The FELCOM administrator may limit the size of outgoing messages. When a PC cli-
ent attempts to send an e-mail message which is larger than permitted, the message
"Data size too large" appears and the message is not sent.
Attachments are encoded, which increases messages by 1.5 times.

How to automatically convert attachments

Using the default setting, mail (MIME encoded) sent from a PC in a network is encod-
ed with UUENCODE. For Inmarsat C use UUENCODE.
If the intended receiver does not use UUENCODE, an attachment may be unreadable.
In this case, change the encode format to BINARY and re-send the message. In the
BINARY setting the attachment file name is not sent to the receiver. To switch to BI-
NARY follow the procedure below.
Some LES do not use the BINARY format. Contact your LES for details.
1. Press the F8 and 1 keys to show the [System Setup] menu.
2. Select [Network Setup] then press the Enter key.
3. Select [Mail Gateway] then press the Enter key.
4. Select [Attach] then press the Enter key.
5. Select the encoding format (UUENCODE or BINARY) then press the Enter key.
6. Press the Esc key to show the [Update] window.
7. [Yes] is selected; press the Enter key.
8. Long-press the Esc key to return to the standby display.
