Office365 is ~50MB;  so, still not 100MB.

I don't believe the limits have gotten lower.

It is simply that file-
sharing is a better answer in almost all use-cases.  One operational
problem with attachment sending is the untethered duplication.  The
target of a link [of any kind] can be updated, resulting in everyone
with the link have access to an updated document vs. the person who
"has the file" saved *somewhere* and continues to use it.

Aside - with evolution you can attach documents to appointments and
tasks.  So if you can share the CalDAV collection [calendar / to-do
list] you get an excellent read-mostly document sharing solution.
