Personally, bailing out seems wrong; I don't think the designers
considered
the MAXARGS limit as a feature, but probably thought "no one would
ever be
crazy enough to want to delete 1000 messages at once". Yet here
we are :-)
I've run into that issue many times over the years, so this isn't
anything new. I just worked around it by deleting messages in groups
of 1000 or less.
Thanks
Jeff
