  Hello, I forwarded that last love-hounds-digest that was a repeat of #90
from qmate to his postmaster and to the original posting sources ( didn't
save, so don't remember specifics) .  This is the response.

There is a reason for this.  We limit the size of messages and enclosures
that come in and go out through the gateways.  Anything that is in excess
of 1mb is returned to sender and NOT processed.  We have very limited
resources, and our machines cannot process large messages from multiple
users at once.  We are currently processing in excess of 40,000 messages a
day that pass through the gateways, and to allow large messages to process
through would cause email services to grind to a halt for everyone.

 Does this make sense to anyone out there?
