I have a feeling that Gmail are going to put a cap on individual message sizes.
The whole idea of the 1GB is that it is supposed to stop you having to delete messages....just store them away. The 1GB is supposed to be enough for a decade's worth of mail.
If they do put a cap on the amount of space, it would solve many of the problems people have been pointing out;
a) The massive expense of providing 1GB of hard disk for every user. Each user's account is only going to grow reasonably slowly over the years. Plus with storage space falling over time, who knows how much a gig of space will cost (currently about $1)
b) It will stop it being used for Warez, and other general file storage uses.
As far as I know, they have said nothing about such a cap, but I find it very likely that it will be in TOS, when it becomes available.
