Tnx.

The behavoiur is random.
1) files dimensions may be less than 1 MB or 4 MB. And I found that
sometimes larger files are o.k. while smaller files are not.Only one
file attached to a message
2) I sent some images using gmail and I didn't find any problem, but
maybe it was just a chance.
3) There is no limit on my ISP mailboxes (or if it exists it is 10 MB
per message)
