given this objective I'm not at all sure that size matters.
Allow me the argument by analogy:
If I attache to an email a text copy of my resume, a word
document of my resume and a pdf formatted copy of my resume.
{ and mine is much smaller than some of my associates who
have synoptic CV's - and the full text which runs on and on and....}
I fear that this would exceed some 'arbitrary limit' - even
if the person requesting the resume 'in any format' ....
Then we have the cases of actual idiotic associates of ours
who rather than shipping the URI for where they stuffed up
the pictures and digital movies - send them along as
attachments....
Then there are our professional associates who are working
from within say a lotus notes frame of mind who likewise
ship along big bloated sacks of extrania.....
Differenciating intent and content based upon 'size'????
I really think you need to re-examine your core objective.
