I'm not sure about the first three (there were two attachments per
message -- Telocity's webmail limit), but if the last one was any
indication, the messages were about a meg total, each.  The one that got
returned had a .doc and a .xls file (for a lab report for
school) attached.

Over limit -- I hadn't thought of that.  Although I've seen my share of
returned messages (mostly from being an admin on this list <g>) of
returned mail where the receiving MTA will say that the mailbox in
question is over total.  I don't think that's in the RFC, though (in
fact, I'm *pretty sure* it's not, though I could be wrong).
