Well, I kinda like the sizelimit being absolute, no exceptions for anyone
for any reason.
I mean, we use this as the final barricade against spam and viruses. If
you go making exceptions, which the spam/virus folk *will* figure out
quite quickly, it seens to me you are opening the door to some rather
undesirable consequences.  And once you start making exceptions for
instance A you will immediately have people saying why not B, then C,
