//Hello Carlos,//

on *26.11.22* at *8:27:38* You wrote in Area *WINPOINT*
to *Tim Schattkowsky* about *"long messages"*.

 CN> Tim,

 CN> WinPoint seems to have trouble with long messages.

 CN> There have been some in FIDOTEST, around 200K. Here the first one was cut
 CN> at 40K and the next ones were not tossed to the messagebase.

Cannot generally confirm this. There is no general limitation on the message
length (other a 2GB limit for an area file) and I recently did some testing
with long messages without problems. I only noticed that the word wrap
algorithm explodes for long messages leading to very long display times vor
certain contents. I have that on the list.

Still, if you have a message that causes problems, let me see. Can you send me
a corresponding .pkt containing these messages?

Regards,
Tim
