I finally got some time to experiment.
I sent myself a new message each of four times, and each time with
the same 3496-character text. The four messages were with the Incoming
size set to 5k, 1800k, 2000k, 5000k.
And each time, it truncated in exactly the same place, after 1337
characters of body text.
I really don't understand how there's two settings -- Entire Message
and Maximum message size. Seems to me there ought to be one or the other.
Interesting: I tried to set Incoming with a blank maximum and got an
error message telling me "Message size must be between 4 and 5120 KB"
