Yes - don't send 17MB files using Internet mail.  There has been 
numerous posts about this in the past (search the archives), but the 
current internet mail system was NOT designed for files this big 
(remember that not only is the file 17MB, but you have to base64 encode 
it which will increase the size by at least 1/3).  I sure as heck don't 
want a 25MB+ email message showing up on my (potentially quota-limited) 
system.

The workaround solution - just disable memory_limit on your PHP entirely.
