Recently upgraded to 10.5.7, could this be why ?

Previously Mail would allow me to send attachments of say 3mb (photo)

Now it limits the attached photo size to less than 200kb.

Why ?

Ta

And when I compose using webmail, it is OK, but when I forward the email which I also sent to myself, it again reduced photo file size from 3mb down to 200kb !

iMac Intel Core i5, 2.5GHz, 4GB RAM, 500GB 21.5" Monitor 10.7.4.
iMac 17" 2.0ghz Intel Core 2 Duo w 3gb memory (White one) 10.6.8.
Internal 500gb / 160gb plus External 500gb x 2 (2x Time Machine)

Figured it out !!!

At the bottom right of the Mail message composing window there is a drop down menu, to select image size, which in several years I had never noticed before.

Problem solved.
