In many situations around the world in developing countries, it is totally impossible to send a 10MB e-mail because the link will be at least break once in the time it takes to send 10MB. As e-mail does not resume...
There are still many countries which only connection to the Internet is a 64kb/s and quite a lot which speed is below 512kb/s
Developed countries and the IETF need to cater for these emerging nations to avoid the digital divide.
I think as yahoo being a major e-mail provider it would be good, that they become more responsible (they are actively fighting SPAM) and use ESMTP when sending their e-mails. It seems they do use ESMTP to receive e-mails...
Cheers

Should ISP's increase the minimum acceptable attachment size to 10M?
If anything this will burden the Internet even more.
