​If the only way from the afflicted system to the workstation where the

attachment ​restriction ...
then ​split, (compress, ​mail)* makes sense.

Regarding employer trouble cmts up-thread, posting with his own name to a
publicly archived list suggests ​he's moving something he's authorized to
read to somewhere he's authorized to read it further, he just needs to
figure out how.

​If the limited network supports rsync or wget/curl/sftp with
continue/resume, they're better no matter how slow.

[ And ​unless using a really lame microcontroller, just set Compress On in
.ssh/config so you get compression everywhere. It's the 21st Century. Then
you can compress files for disk rationing but you don't need to compress
before transfer, it just happens transparently. ]
