Yeah -- this is true in addition to my earlier comments. The U of Washington
POP/IMAP server (pretty popular) at least seems to load
currently-being-downloaded messages completely into RAM. So a lot of people
sending big files can fill up a lot of RAM really quickly -- most
small/medium ISPs won't have more than 128 or 256 on their servers.
