What if the other end does not have an ip for Filetransfer or etc
THEN I THINK we can send large documents through e-mail . Infact file
transfer is possible if both sides we have an ftp. or ip running.
Because i have only an email connection provided by my ISP , and i d
o not have an Ftp at my end
so when i need some document which is 6mb in size iam unable to send
them through e-mail

My opinion is that people should use the proper service to an end. If someone needs to transfer a file to you, than it should be done with FTP or other similar service..Even ICQ (which negotiates clients for direct file transfer). E-mail should be for text and small attachments related to the message, not a method of transferring files...
Again, only in my opinion, it is the lesser learning curve of OSs such as windows that have lead to less educated users, and thus more often improper use of services. This is due to Xerox/Windows Style GUI's reducing the slope of the beginner's learning curve, although this may seem a great advantage, it creates a steeper learning curve for even slightly more advanced uses of their computers and subsequently the internet. It creates reliance on the ability of the OS providers to create software.
On the other hand, we can also give some thanks the same OSs for the explosive growth of the Internet, which is not without some cost..
Just some my opinions..

Subject: Email messages: How large is too large?As someone who has used the Internet since before it was even *called* the
Internet, I can remember when noone would have dreamed of sending email
messages that were even 50 kBytes in size. Times have changed, of course,
and now it's commonplace for people to send email messages that are
significantly larger than this.But how large is too large? I recently chastized someone for sending me an
email message that was 3.7 MBytes in size. (I currently get my email
delivered through a POP mailbox run by my ISP, and the 3.7 MByte message
came close to exceeding my quota.) "That's ridiculous," I argued. "Email
was not intended for messages even remotely as large as this."However, I can't help but wonder if I'm being a bit old-fashioned. Indeed,
times have changed, and message sizes that once seemed absurdly large are
now quite reasonable.So I wonder, what do people think is a reasonable suggested maximum email
message size these days (for messages sent over the public Internet, not
just within a private intranet)? Is there a RFC anywhere that lists a
recommended maximum size? And should email programs issue a warning if a
user tries to send a message that's 'too large'?Ross.
