It is that size *before* encoding.  Your newsreader first has to encode it,
which adds at least 25%.  The larger messages you see are multipart posts
where the newsreader (automatically) split the file into several smaller
chunks.  While this will work, it is recommended you do no make too heavy
use of it (you could also post like 10 GB with it in 10000 parts)...
