    Thanks Luke!

    BTW, regarding large files, if you're used to working with them, then you
    will adjust your work flow to allow the things you need to get work done.
    In the corporate world, sending a 10 or 20MB file is not unusual at all.

    We occassionally see someone try and send gig sized files via e-mail....

    I agree. It's funny how peoples' perception of normality adapt, and quite important to security usability...

    As for data sizes, given some work on bioinformatics/info theory, GBs are now rather small as a measure and the idea of emailing attachments has become something of a joke. Esp. when the data set is larger than the mail server's disk.... Scratches head...

    It's a little off-topic. But if you notice, most execs live and work out of e-mail.
    Gone are the days when presentations were prepared by a secretary, printed
    and distributed. Letters? Replaced for the most part, by e-mail. For many,
    the mailbox is the same as a file system. Want your executive staff to have
    the latest org chart? Send it via e-mail. Getting close to an important meeting?
    Presentations are modified and sent between presenters--furiously.

    The E-staff have no limit to the size of or limit to their mail (the last few
    places I've been).
