I'm trying to email a large multi-page .tif image document (10 mb) with Outlook Express and my email server can't handle it. Is there anyway to reduce the size? I've tried compressing the folder with Winzip but it doesn't make a big difference. Any other suggestions?

You could send it over several mails. Have a look at http://tinyurl.com/dq9d4 for a tiny free program called SplitJoin. This works well and should sort you out.

You could try a different file format such as .jpg (jpeg) that'll let you compress the file size, though you'd need an image editor such as Photoshop to do it. You will get some deterioration in the image quality however, so if that's an issue you'd be best off trying to split the image into pieces and sending them in multiple, smaller emails.
Or maybe just burn it to a disc and stick it in the post?

If you can save it as a pdf document that might reduce the size.
