Interesting as trivia. I don't mean to be dismissive, but when I say a
200GB message "isn't going to happen" I don't mean you can't create one
if you really want to, just that realistically it's not going to happen
because most MTAs and ISPs have caps much lower than that.

I don't understand what you mean by the OS "not reading them as a mail
file". The OS knows nothing about "mail files". Either the OS balks at
any file of that size, or the problem is in a library somewhere, not the
OS.
