Emailing mpeg-4 files. I need some help.
I have done it before. But now I have this compressed small progressive file I want to send that is well under 10MB and no email carrier is recognizing the file. Does anyone know how to hurdle this problem?
Much appreciated,
Thank you -

Don’t use the MPEG-4 .mp4 wrapper. Instead, use .mov.

Another cool “file-sending” resource I stumbled upon:
You can upload a file up to 100MB. It will then send an email to ONE person inviting them to dowload the file.
It stays online for one week only – and is FREE!
Check it out.
