Or one other thing: it could be a r-e-a-l-l-y big e-mail.  You might
telnet in to your mail server (assuming it's POP), and do thusly:

telnet pop 110    <---- your pop server's name, and 110 is the POP port
Trying 216.55.177.39...

4 1690

This is how POP works; you can even view the e-mails with the "retr" 
command (eg. "retr 1").  The values on the right are the sizes of
each e-mail.
