WHY do you send emails that are that big?!
Seem foolish to me. (email ain't suitable to send bigger files)

...and not to mention those users on slower connections, who's emailaccount 
gets clogged due to you sending these HUGE emails.

...and what about the email-servers and networks getting full of the 
traffic your email-sendout generates?!


It's better to have it on the web with a username / passwords protection 
that is individual for every user.
