Set your memory_limit to at 3 times the size of your upload_max_filesize.
In your case, set memory_limit to 24M.

Unfortunately, php maintains two complete copies of the attachment in
memory while it is base64 encoding the attachment, so you need a lot more
memory than the size of the attachment itself would indicate.
