Many thanks Wayne - I thought it must be some such problem. But is it just my emails which are adding these massive lists of addresses?
As you suggest, a good practice will be if we can each remember to chop off all but the most recent/relevant bits of previous communications. And thanks again for your wonderful facility Martyn --- On Sun, 27/1/13, wayne cripps <[email protected]> wrote: From: wayne cripps <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [LUTE] Email freezes or goes very slow - length of extensions/archives? To: "Martyn Hodgson" <[email protected]> Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Date: Sunday, 27 January, 2013, 15:44 Dear Martyn - Some of your messages are reasonably short - 4 or 5 kbytes. and some are very long - 400 or 500 kbytes! The long ones have thousands of email addresses or web links at the end. I would say something is running a loop, but with many very different computers involved it hard to say just what causes it. I know the lute mail robot adds a list of web pages at the end of every message, and it would be in everyone's best interest to delete all the old messages every time you reply, as each old message gets reprocessed by each computer that it goes through. If you feel that it is important to keep some of the old messages for context it would be best to edit them down to a short and legible summary. They are not legible now.
