You can tell them on my behalf that these people are IDIOTS. Such large
emails are likely to overload some mailers, block mail queues and overfill
users mailboxes. Plus that it's a waste of bandwidth and storage space, but
most people do not seem to understand that limits in resources also exist in
cyberspace.
What user creates a 50 MB document anyway? Are they sending uncompressed
photo's scanned at 1200 dpi or something like that? Or just some Word document
with graphics and they are too lame to resize the picture *before* putting it
into the document? I don't know how you feel about this, but these kind of
people really piss me off!
Good luck,
Leonard.
