Brian,

Any time I have hit the limit, I just click to stop waiting for you since I figure you have more important things to do with your time.

It's really not that much.  Many times I go to the administrative interface to approve it to find out that the submitter has retracted it, and sent a new one that gets under the limit.

This is 2011 I do not have any trouble with downloading 10mb to 15mb emails. I just thought it would make sense to have the group be able to send up to 3mb.
