One thing to test. If you get a message rejected, look at the message 
you sent, it should show up in the Sent-folder in your mail client 
software (or whatever Outlook calls it). Look at what size the message 
has. Does it seem strangely big, i.e. adding 2-3 lines to 10-12 lines 
showing up as 15 kB? Well, then take a look at the source and look for 
clues there. Perhaps the message has been chopped up in parts? Perhaps 
there are two parts, one in plain text, one in HTML?

Another thing to do, is to trim the message you reply to. Often it is 
not needed to include the whole message you replied to. Think of a 
thread where everyone does this. Then we will finally hit the barrier 
and the message deemed too big. So trim the message you reply to, and 
the chances that your message will be returned deemed to big will diminish.
