I won a contest and the "officials" want me to send them a copy of my picture. My outlook won't send the photo because the file is too large. (probably my server's problem) does anybody know a good way to get it sent? It is only 3 megs. I have heard about gmail. Anyone know if that has file size limits? Any suggestions at all would help.

gmail i believe is 10mb file limit, but it might be more, I think it used to be 50mb and they took it down. 3mb will definately work on gmail.

Internet email is a very inefficient way of moving large amounts of data from one place to another - it was designed for small amounts of text, not huge attached files (plus it can have consequences for other people - holding up their email).

File transfer sites like yousendit (the one mentioned above) are a much better choice.

Here's a page with info about other sites that will let you do similar things:
