RE: Plant Identification, what to do?

Well, as to sounding "peevish", that's an understatement as my previous
somewhat illiterate posting may have suggested. However I admit that
getting ratty is scarcely constructive in the long run so if excessively
large messages can't be blocked, what can we do about them?

I am far from computer literate so could Maria's techie perhaps give us
a clue?

The following may  be of partial assistance to those with an ISP with
sufficient power to handle all its messages promptly. My messages arrive
in the microsoft outlook "in box" and this is where the blockages first
become apparent. However they arrive there through "Orange" a mobile
phone company which is also (I think) an ISP. So when a blockage occurs,
I switch from "Outlook" to "Explorer" which has orange as its default
screen, log in to the inbox on there and press "Delete" on the relevant
message. That in theory, should clear the thing. However after what
seems like an interminable wait, a message eventually appears saying
"server busy, please try later" which defeats everything. In fact by
this time, the offending message has probably managed to download itself
into the Outlook "in box". I am sure that before Wannado became orange,
it was possible to tick the "mark as read" box on the ISP in box, which
stopped it coming through to "outlook" but this no longer seems to work.

I have never had a problem yet that Diane has failed to solve, but any
answers to this one?   Beyond getting broadband, that is,  which I am
assured by many users, is a pain in its own right.
