EMail was just not designed for rediculously large transfers like this. It's inefficient because there's no restart facility (I dont think...) in case a connection gets broken, like there is with FTP and HTTP. Definately talk your users into using FTP or something similar. Maybe get them to embed a URL in their document so that the likes of Netscape mail users can just click to open an attachment.
