This has turned out to be such a great idea for me!!! I was concerned about missing legitimate messages that were over 50K and set my mail list account to 100K. (I occasionally receive product info msgs to this address) This morning, my server received two more Swen.A messages, and I get this: > A message with the size exceeding 100 K bytes limit has arrived to your address - > the message number on the server is 14. > Please take care of it by yourself > The message header follows [snip] I'm not sure if everyone already knows that TB does this (I'm kind of slow), but what a great feature! Not only does limiting the download size help with virus control, but it will greatly benefit me when traveling (laptop, modem dial-up). I've never used the size restriction before because I was worried that I'd miss stuff I wanted to see.
