| I cap my email at 10 MB.  But an upload of a file may be up to two times
| the original size (e.g. base64 encoded), so there is some room for error
| here.  Also, if your users are on slow links, it will take a *very*
| long time to upload any large files.  Don't try this on a 56K modem, or
| even a 128K adsl/isdn link.

Also, if you are sending a large message to someone with a quota on their
mailbox, you may prevent them from receiving any other messages until they
delete your message. :(
