Hi, I think that if the size of the string is too large, then you should send it as an attachment.
I remember of seeing an article somewhere, which mentioned that if the string that you are sending is of a very large length, then it may not get the correct results as well. I think that I read it on this mailing list only, but cant remember it off-hand.
