If I sent out an email with a 4mb attachment to another country and then sent out a few smaller ones to the same recipient, would the smaller ones have to wait for the larger email to arrive before they are received??

In other words.. Would the large email delay the smaller emails until it has arrived first?

Thanks

It won't delay the receiving email server (bush@whitehouse.gov or whatever the receiving address might look like)
However, an email program like Outlook, Thunderbird and so on will take the emails from the server one at a time, starting with the older.
So, for the receiver, the small email will come after the large email was received
