What is the average size of an email message?  I'm looking for a
research source, not a marketing source.  An example of a good source
for the answer is:

http://www.sims.berkeley.edu/research/projects/how-much-info/internet.html

but it's outdated...can you find something more current circa 2003, 2004?

There is no answer at this time.

The Berkeley study you mentioned was updated in 2003. This may be of interest:

"About 31 billion emails are sent daily, on the Internet and
elsewhere, a figure which is expected to double by 2006 (source:
International Data Corporation (IDC). The average email is about 59
kilobytes in size, thus the annual flow of emails worldwide is 667,585
terabytes."
