As I understand it, the problem is usually with the servers that the email or items go through while underway to the end recipient. They restrict sizes to different max. amounts but it is wise to limit any file or item to 3 MB or less in a single email...this tends to be the lowest 'upper limit' one may find and allows the entire internet to flow at decent speeds...imagine if everyone started sending each other 500 MB psd files on a regular basis over the internet...it would grind to a halt...
