[sdiy] Administrivia: Max image / message size

[Roman Sowa]

IMHO keeping it below 1MB is good choice. Good quality full-HD 
resolution photo can be 400kB, who needs more. I'v been getting photos 
in emails from random iphoners with over 20 megapixels resolution and 
20MB in size, while optical photo quality was equivalent to blured VGA.

I mean it's like GPRS - 3G -> LTE -> 5G that people get so obsessed 
today. You give more bandwidth to satisfy needs that are self-propelled 
by bandwidth availability, then demand rises for more than anyone has 
imagined. And then will come 6G because why not, and it doesn't ever stop.

Some people are keeping local archives of SDIY emails, and while some 
past years might take in total 50MB/year, it may soon turn into 500MB 
per week.
