I take it you were using squirrelmail (your webmail system) to try to 
access this attachment. Have you tried using an ordinary mail client and 
the imap, as opposed to pop, protocol to collect this mail?

It won't solve the webmail/large attachment problem (if that's what it 
is), but will get you your document.
