The afnog at afnog.org list currently has no limit for attachments.
Picking the limit is always a fun exercise ;-)

What should it be?

Here are some data points:

Postings 2006
-------------
* Approximately 1070 emails
* 6 posts > 140KB in size. Specifically:
	- 141KB
	- 423KB
	- 953KB
	- 2@ 1087KB
	- 1235KB
* Vast majority (900+) are 10KB, or less.
* Next largest post is 51KB in size

Does 200KB seem reasonable?
