Actually, I can shed a _tiny_ bit of light on this one - I sent a PDF to someone who complained that she couldn't read it. Since I'm her local PC support, I went and checked - sure enough, her software was trying to display the PDF inline. Evolution had sent the attachment with the file type noted as text/plain. I meant to track this down a bit more and file a proper bug report (Gnome sure knows what a PDF is and what file extension it has, and what apps to throw it to), but I never got around to it. I bet something similar is happening to you. The attachment is probably fine, but the MIME file type is stuffed. Actually, could the person who started this thread qualify how large "too large" is, roughly? I've got a heap of disk space and bandwidth here, and I can test it out.
