Hi,
I would like to bring to your attention a mailing list problem
I have been experiencing with the Internet Monthly Report. It
appears that some Internet hosts, and Internet gateways have
arbitrarily set limits on the size of a message (for example,
50,000 bytes) they will process.
Compuserve users and MCIMAIL users have a real problem receiving
large messages, so many of these users have asked to be removed
from the Internet Monthly Report mailing list.
To complicate things further Compuserve users and MCIMAIL users
are listed on the IETF list, and everyone on the IETF list
automatically is sent a copy of the Internet Monthly Report.
What can be done about requiring hosts on the Internet to accept large
messages, in particular over 50,000 bytes?

The maximum amount of text that a Macintosh "text edit" window can
display is 32767 bytes. The Macintosh front end to AppleLink is
unfortunately implemented using that window type. Please break up your
correspondence into pieces that are smaller than 32767 bytes, and
resend it. (we know this is a pain, so we're working on it, and hope
to fix it soon).
