"Thunderbird Send" Attachments - Contacts cannot Open mine.

Thunderbird Other

THUNDERBIRD I have great trouble trying to send large files and photos, which I seemed to need to send NOT as Attachments - (sometimes I then use "Filelink" or "Thunderbird Send" recently, but most of the time new Shops say that they "cannot open them" in recent times when I have used Thunderbird Send. For some contacts, Thunderbird Send works quite OK. I work with a Charity and I have used Thunderbird for ?25 years (with appropriate donations) - for a few years I remember I used BOX for large attachments.

What am I, presumably, 'NOT telling my contacts correctly', when I send large files to them by Th Send transfer for the first time!?? [I thought Th Send was going to solve all those changes I have had to make over the years to the large file issue!]. (It is now late so I should go to bed, so will try and find your reply tomorrow - don't remember ever having to do this before so am not sure how it all works.) Many thanks, Bevan W.

THUNDERBIRD This all seems to have got sent before it was finished.
