sending movies e-mail?

Your ISP sets the max size of files they will allow to be
sent as attachments.
Their are no "standards" as such,

Sorry but it seems when you have questions you always
have more then one.
I've sent movies in the past some as large as 5mgs. I
had
a problem sending one and the message said,"server not
able to send over by 543(I forgot the rest of message
but
you get the idea).
So I asked my server just what size e-mail attachment
(movie size) I can send using my server. They told me
only 1-1.2mgs. What? I've sent pictures with larger mgs.
then that!
I know servers must have an average size round-about so
does anyone know how many mgs. a person can send through
an e-mail?
Since people are making more movies you'd think they
would increase the size you could send. This is 2004.
There haven't been to many improvments in this area. You
can make the movies easier now but good luck sending
them.
Is there a reason why they (the server) doesn't increase
the capabilities of sending and recieving more mgs. for
movies and picture movies?
Am I missing something somewhere? I am a new user so be
kind, please.
Thank You, Lisa
