Yes but on a graph you primarily look at the graph and not the numbers (In 
the first quick view). Thats also how the human brain works.

I myself like the idea about changing units. I think 2.6 MB is easier to 
parse than 2662 KB (and you should easily recognize that 2.6 is MB and not KB 
even without noticing the unit), although we won't normally get many mails 
which get really unparseable to one quick view. But if you don't want to 
change units, I'd suggest MB. At least I won't be interested in the size if 
it's some KB but only if the message has a large attachment.
