True, up to a point. The point being that you can, and should, seeing as you 
are on a slow line, set up your mail client to request your authority if it 
wants to download an attachment larger than the size you specify.

I do not know if your particular MUA is able to do this but almost all modern 
unix/linux ones can. My Kmail was triggered because I have set it to 1.0 
Megabytes. Anyway what's with 1.5 Meg it's less than 10 mins on dial-up even 
when it's going half cock.

Your headers say:-

X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 5.2.0.9

I'm sure there are lots of people on the list who would be only too happy to 
help you get set up properly.
