My ISP limits my attachment size to 2MB.
I was just receiving a 1.5MB attachment here and think that the limit
is a good idea. I used to occasionally send large files split into
smaller pieces with 'Filesplitter' and send them via e-mail before
getting myself some free server space and using ftp. Geocities offers
this. If you exchange large files with someone it's really worth the
effort to get some server space and use ftp.
