Internally - whatever number you pull out of the hat is good - but I would make it no less then 15MB just to avoid an avalanche of complaint calls. It's different with external mail. I've read an article a couple of months back that was an analysis of traffic on internet routers. They claimed that 99.96% of e-mails were less then 5MB.
The thing to remember is that the SendMail (Unix Open Source - used often as a gateway) has a default configuration of 5MB message size limit. Very few ever modify this (or even know how), so a lot of mail might be rejected by the remote site based on that limit. But, I agree with all others - this differs based on company needs.

What limit are you using?
