Is there a size limit for Messages attachments? I tried sending a video file, large, and it appeared that the message was accepted by Messages but the file did not go to the addressee and there was no notice to me that the attachment was too big.

This may depend on your ISP, but that for iCloud is 20MB.

Keep in mind that's the total message size, so if you have multiple attachments, then they all collectively need to be under 20MB.
Thanks again.

Hi,
I have not found a limit for a size of file in Chat or Messages when using the AIM Service.
Jabber accounts can vary as in some cases and third party app is needed to "turn on" File Sharing services which can be listed as a separate service.
I have not tested specifically with iMessages.
As the iMessages servers are separate from the iCloud ones I not sure any iCloud email limit is going to apply.
(Messages on the iPhone and the Mac obviously makes use of Contacts and these can be synced via iCloud and possibly your Apple ID in Messages is an iCloud one but that is as close as it gets.)
There maybe limits when the Contact is not on a wifi network and is receiving data via their Service Providers Data contract (as in when it converts to SMS)
