[bit.listserv.mailbook] NOTEBOOK.LIMIT

AER7101@TECHNION.BITNET (Zvika Bar-Deroma) (01/15/90)

Hi,
It seems to me that the NOTEBOOK.LIMIT setting is not respected in
89020A. The following is a console log, where I have TRACEd R a part
of my mailuser xedit:

Ready; T=0.47/0.64 08:40:59
l unread notebook a (alloc
FILENAME FILETYPE FM FORMAT LRECL       RECS     BLOCKS

Ready; T=0.01/0.01 08:43:49


One can see, that I set the notebook limit to 7500, the initial size
was smaller than that (6008), but after issuing mail, the size rose to
18822 (I was away for 48 hours :-).
The above mentioned size limit setting was respected in previous releases
(89010B and before). Any idea why it is not respected ?

By the way - why (if the answer is not too long) is that part of the
mailuser xedit executed twice ?
