    Regret the originals were sent to the insurance company. I used the default setting on the "HP Solutions" so I'll know better next time.

    I will split into 3 and send. It's Google Mail (gmail) I have always used.

    gmail is OK, but the company at the other end might not be as generous.

    If you use "WinRAR" you can split the compressed files into smaller chunks (say 4 x 5Mb rar's instead of a single 20Mb file.)

    You can then send them in individual emails.

    There's also an option to make them a "sfx" file, which adds a self unrar'ing program to the files to the user at the other end does not need WinRAR installed to decompress the files.


    Or you may look at sending the files to a "DropBox" it's online storage service which allows you to upload a file and send a link to others to download the file for free (The company may not like this option but you can call ahead to see if they would accept this)
