Read this:

BTW, when a binary attachment is sent per email then this attachment 
will have to be encoded in a way that increases the size of the message 
by 1/3 (base64 encoding). This means a message with a 65 MB attachment 
will be 65*4/3 = 86.666 MB large. In order to save these extra 21 MB of 
bandwidth you should do what cryptopia suggests and use a web server or 
ftp to transfer this file.

Regards,
Ingo
