So 'size_limit' is what I'm looking for.  Thanks everyone.  Now comes
the really hard bit.  I have to tell her, blindfolded, how to tell the
size of the message she is sending.  She uses btinternet's yahoo
mailer, and I haven't a clue what she can see there.  :-)
Don't forget to account for encoding overhead, which can be up to 30%
(maybe more).
That's the bit I thought I'd have to guess.  Thanks for the estimate.

why not setup a vsFTPd account for her to upload to? much easier to deal
with and can be chroot'd, and used by others as well. files go directly
to file system as opposed to having to be processed by MTA. When clients
ask me this same kind of question I generally tell them there's a lot of
good reasons why the internet standard for a 5MB attachment limit, and
if folks need to send files larger than that, then FTP services are
better suited for such things.

You haven't met my daughter :-)  I'm not saying that she's stubborn, but....

:) I know what you mean. I have a few clients like that. When I explain to them it's less trouble and effort they soon come around.
