the question really is how much "a bit more" is - right now the limit is
100000 characters which limits us to ~70KB of attachments (around the
size of the Hot-standby patch if bzip2 compressed).

The SE-Postgres patch for example is ~650KB uncompressed - if we want to
cope with uncompressed patches that large we would have to increase
the current limit by a factor of 10 at least.
I wonder if there are people on the list that might not want to receive
mails that large(like users with mobile phones)?
