Already replied to in your separate multipost on the same query in the
microsoft.public.outlook newsgroup under the Subject of "Can't send
attachements greater than 50 KB"
(news:89b901c404b9$439e3880$a501280a@phx.gbl).

When posting the same question to multiple newsgroups, crosspost to each
newsgroup. Multiposting (where you send separate copies of the same
post to multiple newsgroups) results in more bandwidth and disk space
consumed on the news server (i.e., that's rude). Multiposting is also
somewhat rude to other users since each post is disconnected from its
other copies, so respondents don't see the replies already submitted to
the other copies and can waste their time providing the same answers
over and over. Crosspost! To crosspost, specify all the newsgroups
where you want your message to appear in the To header. Don't crosspost
to too many newsgroups, however, as this can be seen as slamming or
spamming the newsgroups and the server may employ filtering that
discards all your posts. Even if you decide to multipost instead of
crosspost, don't be rude by being "tricky" in changing the Subject line.
If it's the same post then use the same Subject line.
