I would honestly serve at the altar of the person that did this. Keep the debugging information, but for the love of god, make your email client do something pretty and useful with it.

So if you want to send your 40MB attachment to your mailing list of friends, the network must bare the load of the 40MB times the number of mailed people. No thanks.

*sigh*

I don't think you understand what it means when I say "change email". I'm not saying "allow larger files to be sent". I'm thinking of complete rethink of how the technology works - heck, you could integrate smart P2P technology into the whole thing.
