We are speaking about a mode which really breaks RFCs anyway. Will there 
be problems when you report the normal message size, say 5MB, to a 
client and then the mail is only 20KB received size? I guess the 
progress bar will get messed up, but the rest should be OK.

The CEO, or his techie, must explicitly configure #mobile mode. If you 
are afraid, don't do that. Use it only for people who you can explain 
the implications.
And: the attachments are not only available on his PC, but he gets a 
https: link sent with the mail, replacing the attachment. A click on 
that link will download the attachment. After all, this mode helps 
saving time to receive a message, which is welcome to most mobile users.
Blackberry gets mail pushed on it anyway, so maybe you don't want 
#mobile mode there, as you don't see the time it takes to receive a mail 
normally.
