Tip 712: Outlook 2010's Large Message Size Fix

As many beta users discovered, Outlook 2010 sometimes creates huge messages. This is a bug and is usually only a problem when using bulleted and numbered lists. It’s fixed in later builds.

The good news: Public beta users won’t have to wait for the release of a later build. Microsoft released a hotfix beta users can download.

Outlook 2010 32bit hotfix

Outlook 2010 64bit hotfix
