While I recognize that many email systems limit messages to some size, generally no more than 3 MB, and I certainly don't try to send anything that large without asking the recipient first, I don't know of any rule that email *shouldn't* or *can't* be that size. Still, it's hard to debug a problem that can't be reproduced. What are the stats of the machine on which tmda is having issues? -- monique Please respond to the group OR to my email, but not both.
