Oi, why do people insist on emailing such big files :)
bas64 encoding adds about a 3rd on top of the actual files size in
encoding. So your 25MB file is now about 32MB in raw encoded data.
Now, the cause of the problem is because of how we are fetching the
data from the IMAP server. We're telling the IMAP server to give us
the object data back to us in a single call, not much we can do about
that, which means the IMAP server is dumping back to us the ~32MB of
encoded data, which we process in chunks and decode. The problem is,
we're dumping it into a variable to post back to the browser after
it's done, which is where the memory issue comes up.
I'm skimming over the code to see if we can stream the decoded data
straight back to the browser instead of dumping it to a variable
first.
