Sometimes people send meaningful attachments. Is it possible to
establish a message size limit that would refer to the text of the
message only? I don't know but I doubt it. I would prefer to rely on

We also pay for Yahoo!s, hotmail's etc. bandwidth. Why not to make
email management more convenient? It was the only reason of my offer.
I am sorry to be misunderstood as supporting oversized emails.
