most of us use 64K as the max message size when we post or mail something. a lot of TCP/SMTP mailers have no upper limit, but the world is not yet full of those. cheers, -- Paul Vixie DEC Western Research Lab <vixie@pa.dec.com> <paul@vixie.sf.ca.us> Palo Alto, California, USA ...!decwrl!vixie ...!vixie!paul
