    How many recipients have been including you in the message?  What is the size of the zip file that you are trying to send?

    This message is frequesntly most associated with a Microsoft Exchange Server that is also running an SMTP virtual server, what I read.  This means that the server does not like how big the stream of SMTP session is.

  • How can I get rid of the symbols

    Hello
    I used this code to place a symbol on the canvas as a framework for support:
    this.attachMovie ("symPanda8", "choice1d", this.getNextHighestDepth (), {_height, _x:217, _y:230, _width:150:151.4});})

    so, how can I get rid of it when I'm done with it? I tried a blank Keyframe again in the next section and tried choice1d.visible = false; but they don't seem to work, the only way that I can't get rid of it is by setting the alpha to zero and disable it! but I don't want to do it somewhere else, would prefer that he just go!

    would be grateful for your suggestions!

    Try:

    removeMovieClip (this.choice1d);

    or if you need clean the holder of all:

    for (var I in this) {}
    If (typeof (i) == "movieclip") removeMovieClip (this );

  • How can I get rid of the icon "junk" on a message when it was put there by mistake?

    I converted a few perfectly legitimate "junk" in error messages, click the "junk" that is in the same row of answer-transmit-Archives-Junk-delete below of the top window in which information on each e-mail is displayed line by line in any other file (Inbox, drafts, sent, etc.) has been selected.

    It's easy, of course, to move these back to my Inbox, which is where I wanted them, but now they have bright orange "junk" icons displayed to the left of the Date. That in itself bothers me not specifically, but I'm bothered by the action of these icons should represent. namely, that I have "educated" Thunderbird to recognize emails from these sources as junk and start to divert the messages from these sources in the junk e-mail folder. I certainly don't want that to happen, but the undesirable feature seems otherwise good, so I don't want to turn it off, either. How can I get rid of the unnecessary icons on emails marked as spam accidentally? And reverse the "undesirable character" of a message by surgery will remove the Thunderbird learning process?

    Thank you for helping.

    There are several ways. The two easiest are click on the Junk icon to turn off or click with the right button on the message and select Mart As - Not Junk.

  • How can I get rid of my desktop icon after installing Firefox 8.0.1?

    How can I get rid of my desktop icon after installing Firefox 8.0.1?

    Make sure that Firefox is installed correctly.
    Open the image (DMG) disk Firefox with a double-click if necessary file and drag the Firefox program folder of the application on your hard drive.
    You should not double-click the Firefox application to run from the disk image and drag it out of the DMG file instead.

  • How can I get rid of the little blue box on file Vista icons?

    How can I get rid of the little blue box on file icons? Like the shortcut symbol, it is in the lower left corner. It's a solid blue rectangle with 2 white "" superior to "sign, as to point to the right." He appeared on the recently created new files, MS Word and jpg photos. I find a nuisance when you try to view photo icons because it hides part of the image.
