Q: Using yahoo mail and windows 7 ultimate I sent an email with an attached pdf file to a friend . My PDF’s size was 370 KB.
My friend insists that the PDF he received was almost 10 times larger (being 3.51 MB)! He is on windows 7 Live Mail (Microsoft). I could not believe that and I told him that he obviously makes a mistake.
So, for evidence, we both provided each other with jpg captures showing the different sizes!
Then, for testing purposes I sent the same PDF to another email address (G Mail) and they confirmed that the size of the file received there was the same with that of my outgoing file (370KB),
I cannot understand how this can be done. If I am to believe the first recipient then we have to accept that an outgoing file might possibly be increased in size as much as ten times before reaching a recipient!
Is that at all possible?
