I dunno about that. I'd leave it where it is or even jack it up some,
possibly with some sort of option to explicitly set
it--$VMS::default_mbx_size or something.
Actually that sounds like a good idea. When you release the new piping code
I'll patch it up to add the option. Should be almost trivially straightforward.
