Hi,
I tried to send a MSFT Word document (ca. 110 K) using the "send to" function in
MSFT Word.  Mozilla is set up as the MAPI mailer.  Sending this attachment took
forever!  I stopped it in the middle and sent it using Pegasus, instead.  The
data upload was 500% faster using Pegasus to mail the attachment.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a document in MSFT Word 2000.
2. Use the "send to" function in Word to invoke Mozilla Mail.
3. Send the mail with the attachment as usual.
  It is SLOWWWWWW!

Actual Results:  
It took two minutes or more to send a 110 K attachment.  I stopped it in the
middle and used Pegasus instead.  It took less that 30 seconds to send the
document as an attachment.

Expected Results:  
Only Heaven knows.  Send the document 500% faster than it does!

Hi.  I found out what SOME of the trouble was.  From using the last version of
Mozilla, I had trouble with the multiple SMTP servers that got set up when I
changed ISP's.  Thus when I went to "advanced" to check, there were two smtp's
showing.  So I deleted this version of mozilla, deleted the mozilla data from
windows/application data, and re-installed from scratch.  That helped!  But now,
it receives mail fine - but when I try to send a small test message, it never
stops sending!  I tried to send a 0.7K test message to myself, and it sended up
sending 50K or more before I stopped it.  Why would it send so much data for
such a tiny message?  I am really mystified.  Right now, I don't think it is
satisfactory for sending messages.

Can you help with this?  Would a complete re-install again help?
