The reason message size is restricted is purely due to the way mailing
lists
work and the way that people access the internet.

There are ~300 people on the list.  A 5 meg file sent to 300 people = a
whole lot of bandwidth on the internet when only a subset of people might
actually want to see the attachements.  When you send an email EVERYONE
must
download it whether they want it or not.  (some email programs let you
choose, but most do not).  A lot of people on the list are using modems.
A
28K modem connection truly struggles to download a large attachment via
email.  And while it is trying to do that, that persons email is tied up
preventing them from accessing email that may be of importance.

I restrict the message size to 400K which is a quite reasonable
comprimise.
Attachments larger than that should be posted on a web site and a link
sent
out.  This is appropriate...everyone gets the link and people can view the
materials at their leisure instead of being forced to download them.  I
provide web space to do this (ercoupers.com), and there are umpteen free
places you can upload items onto the internet. ( Check out xdrive.com,
http://photos.msn.com/, yahoo.com and a bunch of others.)
