[imp] compose with attachment/s sized 800kb+

[kendyl peebles]

ok, memory_limit seems to be the controlling factor in this issue...  with it
set to unlimited (-1)  the compose window behaves like it should and not like
the spoiled 3yr old that it was acting like before..
Intention is to limit attachment sizes to ~8mb and have proper notification
instead of just dieing.
the following are my quick and dirty test results...
memory_limit = 8M
~400k attachment - OK
~600k attachment - OK
~800k attachment - compose window becomes blank white screen that never goes
away, after closing that window, subsequent compose popups never load past the
'browser' window frame... cannot log out of imp.. must kill browser window and
bring up new browser and log back in... message arrives intact at destination
~900k attachment - "The page cannot be displayed" error... imp behaves
normally after closing the compose popup manually. message arrives intact at
destination.

memory_limit = 16M
~600k attachment - OK
~800k attachment - OK
~1M   attachment - OK
~1.4M attachment - OK
~1.6M attachment - OK
~1.7M attachment - OK
~1.8M attachment - compose window becomes blank white screen that never goes
away, after closing that window, subsequent compose popups never load past the
'browser' window frame... cannot log out of imp.. must kill browser window and
bring up new browser and log back in... message arrives intact at destination
~1.9M   attachment - "The page cannot be displayed" error... imp behaves
normally after closing the compose popup manually. message arrives intact at
destination.

memory_limit = 24M
1.8M attachment - OK
2M    attachment - OK
2.2M attachment -OK
2.4M attachment - OK
2.6M attachment - OK
2.8M attachment - compose window becomes blank white screen that never goes
away, after closing that window, subsequent compose popups never load past the
'browser' window frame... cannot log out of imp.. must kill browser window and
bring up new browser and log back in... message arrives intact at destination
2.9M attachment - "The page cannot be displayed" error... imp behaves normally
after closing the compose popup manually. message arrives intact at
destination.

memory_limit = 32M
2.8M attachment - OK
3M    attachment - OK
3.4M attachment - OK
3.8M attachnemt - compose window becomes blank white screen that never goes
away, after closing that window, subsequent compose popups never load past the
'browser' window frame... cannot log out of imp.. must kill browser window and
bring up new browser and log back in... message arrives intact at destination
3.9M attachment - "The page cannot be displayed" error... imp behaves normally
after closing the compose popup manually. message arrives intact at
destination.

hmmm  following progression... 8*8=64 should get me ~7.7mb attachment size,
lets add 4 to set above 8M so.... setting memory_limit = 68M
trying:

8M attachment - OK

setting post_max_size = 7M, upload_max_filesize = 7M, leaving memory_limit =
68M

hmmm  no notification of exceeding filesize limit... can push all the way up
to 8.2M and the earlier documented symptom manifest...

I can live with that... I think... user gets that issue... smack his hand for
sending attachments that large... <shrug>
