Yes, absolutely. Left to myself, I'd not have bothered with any
attachment less than 100KBytes or so. The stuff that gets my goat is
seeing our customers using email to shunt 20MB CAD files back and forth
across the world two dozen times. Emails are being used for the kind of
work God had meant trucks to do. :(

Let me get some hard data from a few of our large corporate clients'
servers, and then we'll talk again. May take a couple of weeks to get
this data, because we'll need to look for a time window when the mail
server is less loaded to run our scan.
