I have been moving much larger messages with balsa (up to 300MB) so the  
problem is more about the combination of Balsa *and* Exchange. The  
closest I got was appending 128MB messages to a mailbox on a server  
with 32MB of memory - the connection was interrupted, too. Does  
anything else get printed on the console? Does Exchange hang up  
immediately or after a while?
