I am trying to attach a small 49kb text only word file to my email but I am getting an error " the file exceeds your attachment limit" which of course is far from correct. Is this problem related to the "syncing with mobile phone" problem of today 8-14-13?

The items I'm sending are backing-track arrangements of songs for the new musical that I'm working on - when I make changes to the (faux)orchestration of songs still being worked on I send the new version(s) to my collaborator and/or script editor. The 'packages' vary little in size - but Hotmail's acceptance of same seems to vary considerably from day to day. Is there or is there not a set limit - and if there is and I adhere to it in future, will Microsoft stick to its side of the bargain?

 

Thanks - Mike Atkinson.

why do I have a 5 attachment limit? this seems to be a common problem.
I have used Hotmail for years then a while ago it stopped allowing more than 5 attachments. When I switched to the new Outlook version of Hotmail it allowed to send more than 5 at least once and now that I have urgent flight details to forward it won't allow me to send more 5.
HELP!
Thanks
