If you have a really large attachment, something that does not need to
- be recorded forever (as most attachments are), you can mark your
- attachment as a <quote>Big File</quote>, assuming the administrator of the
- installation has enabled this feature. Big Files are stored directly on
- disk instead of in the database, and can be deleted when it is no longer
- needed. The maximum size of a <quote>Big File</quote> is normally larger
- than the maximum size of a regular attachment.
