[imp] email attachment size problem

Quoting "You, Hongtao Howard" <hyou at Foxboro.com>:

You need to raise memory_limit to at least 2 times your max attachment
size.  So to send a 7MB attachment, set it to something between 14 MB
and 21 MB.

This would only really matter if you used SQL to store the uploaded
attachments instead of the file system, which it seems you are not.

You need to raise memory_limit (or disable it).
