Bandwidth<br class="">
is generally not a problem today. GMail and Yahoo both have a 25 MB<br class="">
limit. Outlook (the artist, sorry, e-mail host previously known as<br class="">
Hotmail) has a 20 MB limit I think. A limit of 20 MB would comfortably<br class="">
fit about 4 images taken with a typical phone camera. 10-20 MB sounds<br class="">
like a reasonable limit. Just starting to watch a Youtube video would<br class="">
slurp more bandwidth within a couple of minutes.<br class="">
<br class="">
Two potential problems:<br class="">
1) A few people have job/university/private e-mail addresses that may<br class="">
render such large attachments undeliverable.<br class="">
2) This might start to fill up the list archive server. This<br class="">
*shouldn't* be a problem since even cheap server hosts typically offer<br class="">
many gigabytes of storage these days, but something to watch out for.<br class="">
