Can e2a handle emails with a relatively larger email body size?

Yes, e2a can handle emails which are of relatively larger email body size. By default, e2a has the ability to handle emails with body sizes of upto 128KBs (~131K characters including HTML tags). But, to enable e2a's ability to handle larger emails, you need to add a few extra fields on the 'e2a Email' object (and also on e2a Unmatched Email object) and e2a will automatically detect those fields and store emails in those custom added fields if the email size increases the default handling capacity.
