KMail needs very much memory if you send huge attachments. The current=20 version needs temporarily about 10 times the size of the attachment=20 i.e. in your case about 300 MB. If you don't have that much memory it's=20 no wonder that KMail crashed. BTW sending huge files as attachments is not a good idea because for=20 transportation the file is blown up to 4/3 of the original size (base64=20 encoding). It would be much better to put the file on a ftp or web=20 server.
