As everyone else notes, this is not a job for e-mailing. Even if you
want to e-mail the file, it is not a job for sendmail. When you send
attachments they are typically base64 encoded, this explodes the file
from 5.5MB to about 8MB.
You can cut it up in two ways: Use transcode to make shorter clips and
send separately or convert the file to base64, then cut it up manually
and ask your friend to concateneate the attachments and deconvert from
base64.
The second option is the low tech - transcode is not designed to be user
friendly.
But, as everyone suggest: Setup anon ftp, an apache webserver, or give
ssh access - all of these are faster, simpler and better. This is
posible if you are not NAT'ed and have a reasonably fixed ip.
