I found an old message saying that dbmail splits up the body into multiple messageblks due to a limit in mysql[1]. Can somebody elaborate? >From the mysql docs, myisam tables have a limit of 65534 bytes, but blob and text columns only use 5-9 bytes of that[2]. Is it safe to assume longblob columns use a similar amount of space? Innodb supports rows up to 4GiB[3].
