Be aware that ''email size'' is not the same thing as ''attachment size''.  Binary attachments to email are encoded using techniques that result in email sizes that can be as much as 30% larger than the original attachment. Most major email clients (Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Outlook) allow you to enable a "message size" column in the message list that will show you the size of your email messages ([http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,48366.msg241720.html#msg241720 More]).
