I would expect it to be possible to ATTACH a 109MB document - in fact I'm pretty sure I've done it. I would not expect it to work, in any mail client anywhere, to INSERT a 109MB image/document. The body of an e-mail is a Document-Object-Model kind of thing, and I just wouldn't expect any message edit to survive such a traumatic event. Whether even the former is wise is another question [the answer to which is "no" - if only because the serialization of an e-mail attachment bloats the payload by ~20%, so you are talking about 130MB to send - and then store - 109MB]. > Googling for RFC I found a limit of 50 MB.
