How did you solve it? I get the same problem when trying to send large
messages or attachments. The machine appears to hang, but if you let it
sit for a LONG time, it will eventually pop up an error message.

If your problem is the same one as mine, the encoding.  I changed
the encoding in the view menu, and then pressed set default
character set from the same sub menu as the encoding list.  This
changes it properly.  

Next to the encoding in your message it just says 7-bit,  set the
charater set to Western (ISO 8859-1)

Hope this helps.

Ok, can you tell if it is working right? I had Western (ISO-8859-1), I
chose Set Default Character Set.

You are represened as having:

Content-Type:  text/plain; charset=us-ascii; x-mac-type="54455854";
               x-mac-creator="4D4F5353"

I don't know what all of the "x-mac" stuff is but the text/plain;
charset=us-ascii; part is correct for posting here so I think
you have it.

It is Mac specific information (usually useful for attached files only, but
most newsreaders post it with everything for some reason) about the file
type and application that created it. The numbers are hexadecimal ASCII
codes (actually they are MacRoman character codes, not differences in the
lower 128 chars are minimal). If you translate it back you get: type =
"TEXT" = a plain text file, and creator = "MOSS" = Netscape Navigator.
