Actually, EXCERPT_HEIGHT is not the controlling parameter. EXCERPT_HEIGHT controls only the height of the text box, not the number of lines shown (by scrolling). The controlling parameter is ADMINDB_PAGE_TEXT_LIMIT which is a Defaults.py/mm_cfg.py setting. It is in bytes and defaults to 4096, but it can be set to a negative value to display the entire message. E.g. ADMINDB_PAGE_TEXT_LIMIT = -1 in mm_cfg.py. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
