Basically, any non text file has to be encoded.
There are a lot of non text files that are not graphic, sound, or video.

Outlook Express is an e-mail client. Only your server has restrictions and
you would have to ask them.

Three things to remember:

When sending a large attachment, consider if the recipient would like to
see something that large trying to download. 50MB is huge and I wouldn't
want to see it. Think of an alternative like uploading to a site like
TinyPic and just e-mailing the URL.

TinyPic:
http://tinypic.com/

Any adds about 35~40% to the actual size due to encoding. So, a 10MB file
will end up being about 13.5 to 14MB when you send it.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant
layer of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending and receiving,
and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting
changes and has even been responsible for lose of messages. Your
up-to-date A/V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For
more, see:

Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the
program and reinstall in Custom Mode and opt out of e-mail scanning when
the option arises.
