Yeah I don't think there's any practical SM limit, it's up to your and
the recipients ISP and any in between systems. However with files that
large you should learn how to break them up into pieces. There's
standard machinery and standards for doing that. You:
encode the pieces -- UUencode or Yenc
break the file into pieces -- about 1-2MB each
calculate and prepare additiona error correcting pieces
Send the pieces as a series of separate messages.
The recipient:
- collects the pieces.
- If needed uses the error correcting pieces to correct
the main segments.
- decode segments
- rebuilds the original file
It's the other end that's the problem. I'm innocent. They have zero
computer experience really, so appealing to them to send these wmv files
in pieces isn't going to fly. I get a big file about every 2 days, so
it's not a real hot topic.
Post it on a web site so they can get it with HTTP.
Most ISP limit emails to 10MB but inside their own
network most ISP have larger limits.
