I was thinking of more of global resource usage. I start up my flame
thrower when someone internally send off a message to "all" with 400+k
M$ attachment that I can't read anyway. We have a global area that
anyone in the company can access, so why not put it there? I am much
more likely to hang onto a mail that tells me where to find something,
than a mail+hugh attachment. The later usually goes straight to the
bit bucket. :)

That sounds like a reasonable limit.
