Generally I assume most of the size of a db comes from these attachments and you can't search them anyway (most are probably jpegs/mpeg etc) so keeping them in the DB seems less useful. I can see it creating headaches in terms of admin and removing some of the simplicity of dbmail but I can also see performance increases.
