60k is not _small_ when communicating plain text such as .lyx files.
Typically, to reproduce a problem, even a 10k should more than enough.

 I suppose since it's a large distribution list that things would get
 problematic with very large files.  Just figured that 98K wasn't that
 large.

It gets archived, and hunting down problems is easier for your
pontential helpers if the file is small.

I agree. Please make the example much smaller. In fact, make it so small 
that it only contains precisely what you need to illustrate your problem.

Why all the confusion? The original error message says:

Sorry, I don't accept messages larger than 6 bytes

If my math is correct (and I think it is :-}), 98K is greater than
60K. Your file needs to be less than 60K.

Correct. This is a distribution list which is archived so you could
begin to imagine the space requirements needed if multiple people sent
large files to the list. Hence, the size limitation. Even given the
decrease in storage prices :-}. You also have to remember that the LyX
software and mailing lists are free services (for the end users; us)
so I have no problem with these limitations. Actually, I am extremely
great full for them.

Lyx-users mail server error

I'd guess that a 98KB file is over 5000 lines -- way too long for an email
