The RFCs (I thought it was 822, but it is not, I am now looking for the
exact one) only guarantee up to 64kb. Furthermore large attachments were, and
still are, considered a denial of service. Many places will limit the size of
the message. The average that I have herd of is 5Mb where some are as low as
2Mb.
