I won't tell you what you want to hear.
This is one of my pet peeves, especially when people kill my mailbox
trying to send me multi-megabyte files:
*** If it's too big to send, it's too big to receive. ***
If there weren't limits to attachments, we'd be seeing far more
abusive denial-of-service type attacks and viruses.
Consider instead putting the file on an ftp site or web site. I
have a free FTP server (GuildFTPd) on my computer just for this
purpose; I use it all the time to transfer files to/from it. It
comes in handy when, for example, my father and I need to exchange a
15MB Excel file. That size is flat-out impractical for email.
