Sounds about right. The largest worm mail in regular circulation at the
moment is SWEN, which is between about 140KB and 160KB in size.

Not quite, and yes.

Strictly speaking, neither. One megabyte would be 1048576 bytes :)

Don't forget the lock on the output file, and there's no need to say
explicitly that you want to work on the body if the only condition is the
size of the mail. So, your recipe for shunting through mails greater than
200KB in size would be:

:0:
* > 204800
$DEFAULT
