And these evil emails are bigger than 80k?
bigger than 100k? 200k?  What is their size?

Almost 3 years ago Shawn raised the 40k limit to 80k
limit to leave pass bigger patches.  We can also very
well raise it again to, say, 120k.  I don't think that
this will open the door to evil emails...

Nope.  I didn't get anything at all.  Radio silence.

Cheers,

P.S.: Leave pass evil emails is bad.  Block legal
emails is much worse IMO.
