Strictly speaking, 9 bytes. You don't want to begin a protocol today that 
won't be suitable for transferring 5 GB movies in a few years, do you? :-)

That reminds of me of when Akonadi began development, they had an extreme use-
case of "what happens if a user wants to send an entire BluRay rip over 
email?" (50GB dual-layer encodes with base64 to 66.67 GB)

Right, that's what I was getting at.
