JISCMail - DATA-PROTECTION Archives

Print

I have been hit by this limit a few times and the upshot of it is that it is my fault.

We all need to manage our message replies better and this can include removing the over lengthy “disclaimers” that mount up at the foot of messages. Also “snipping” earlier and now less relevant parts of the thread brings down the number of lines significantly and adding the phrase “<snip>” indicates to all that this has been done (used a lot on other forums and works very well).

I think increasing the limit will be counterproductive in that messages will just get infeasibly large and cumbersome. 1000 lines is more than reasonable if we all take some responsibility to snip extraneous lines.
