Figure 3-3: The easyMail Message Window
E-mail Limitations
Because of the design of the Inmarsat-C service, there are certain limitations to the
size of the messages that can be sent:
• You can send messages up to 10 K in size via Inmarsat-C. However,
depending on variations in the Inmarsat-C service, you may be able
to transmit a message that is larger than 10 K (for example, 11 K or
12 K). The exact size can fluctuate but will never be less than 10 K.
• The easyMail application will inform you if the message being sent
is too large to transmit.
