As I've been with Prestel for three years I guess I should answer this. :)
I must have chucked many thousands of emails through their servers and apart
form the odd bit of mangled spam I've had no problems with MicroDotII, and
YAM on the Amiga, or The Bat and Outlook Express on the PC. I've certainly
sent and recieved mails many times that size with MicroDotII through Prestel
without any problems.
However, I couldn't help noticing that you're using a very ancient version
of MicroDotII "MicroDot-II/AmigaOS NC 1.0.1". AFAIK the latest version is
1.4.4, and I'm told that an even newer version is being worked on atm. This
may well be the problem. Grab the new version and see if that fixes the
problem. I think the site you need is http://www.vapor.com I'm sure if
that's wrong someone will tell me. :)
