FWIW with a slow list, I used to have the Digest limit set to 10 Kb. Since the header size problems began, I have the Digest limit set to 30 Kb. The last digest contained three admin posts I sent over a 4 day period (2 related to advice on new Query Board posts) ... Post 1 : 0.9 Kb when I sent it off; 16 Kb when the list copy was returned. Post 2 : 0.7 Kb when I sent it off; 16 Kb when the list copy was returned. Post 3 : 2 Kb when I sent it off; 17 Kb when the list copy was returned. So 15 KB added to each individual post !! - admittedly some of it possibly added during transit to RootsWeb. The received Digest size was just 9 Kb ! With the 3 messages totalling just under 4 Kb, that means ~5 Kb of additions. Oh, and the digests are getting through just fine with that one third size. The earlier digests (two messages each & also 9 Kb in size) were triggered with total sizes of 34 Kb and 32 Kb. This clearly indicates that extra size of the message is being added by RootsWeb processing. The difference in the plain text footer size between List messages and the Digest wouldn’t be more than a couple of Kb. So, the question remains - why are the list headers so much larger than the Digest ones ?? Peter ButeshireGenWeb
Could be lots of factors, pop3 imap or inclusions from rw, or your personal email prg. at any rate kb is rather small to cause a message to bounce for being to big. I assume.
