I found it...

/tmp isn't big enough... bellmail spools the file through /tmp which for me is 
only 16MB (never needed bigger)...

Still not sure why mail is spec'd like that. weird. But I'm going to investigate 
further before just making /tmp bigger when I don't need it to be for anything 
else...
