I'd like to give some advice for those who use MSOffice outlook and jaws. Messages sent in plain text format is much smaller than messages sent in html format. What I usually do if I write a message that's quite long. Step1: I save the message in my drafts folder. I hit control plus s and then

It's also pretty easy to eliminate auto-sending of replies, so long as you take the time... I'm not trying to accuse anyone by the way, I just didn't know you guys even looked at messages that large or if they got moved into a, go ahead and delete, folder or something. I write most of my messages

Hi Dakotah, No problem. No offense taken. I'm just glad we are able to clarify things for you. :D As it happens I often use the Google web-mail interface myself 90% of the time and don't bother with separate e-mail clients. Since I have several different computers running various operating

Hey folks, I have just tended to all the moderated messages and have had to reject a rather large number of them due to excessive size. Please could I gently remind you all to trim your messages before sending them, unless it is under special circumstances and your message is consulted with and

I don't mind the idea, except I'm curious as to why there's a message length restriction. If someone doesn't want to read the entire message, they can either delete it then and there or move to the next name in the thread, depending on their client and mail reading preferences. What's more, most

Hi Dakotah, We usually don't just reject messages out of hand. At least I don't at any rate. I've personally approved a number of messages that were larger than the size limitation if it is a case of a single message too long to fit in the standard 10 KB limit. Such examples include news letters,

Hi Michael, That is what we generally do. As I said in my prior post we often don't just reject a post because it is too large. There are plenty of posts such as news letters from game developers that are too big to go through, but we obviously approve them right away since the author wasn't

Hi, listers. As many of you know Raul and I have put a 8 KB limit on all standard posts to this list to cut down message size as well as to limit repeted material over and over again. However, I have just seen three messages from three different people be rejected on the grounds of message
