Like I said, I'm not sure it was this list (I belong to several), but
I'll tell you
what I remember.

It had to do with:
1) Length: People didn't like to receive large messages that
    didn't interest then. Long downloads, space, etc ....
2) Mail reader/browser: Some people can only handle text,
    attachments came through as a very large garbage list,
    you know like &R&HFR{Uf &&%REf ((F&Nr8JJ
3) Potential virus: Some thought that opening an attachment
    from someone unknown was dangerous.

As far as rules, we only have "guidelines" which you receive
monthly.

As far as your documents, my guess is that you encountered
our 10K guideline.
