[Coco] Code in email

[Dennis Bathory-Kitsz]

John,

It's not a server restriction. It's my setting based on how list members 
wanted it to be -- to keep folks (especially those who get the digest) 
from being overwhelmed with large attachments.

I already raised the limit from 32K to 48K to 64K over the past few 
years. But I also have it strip attachments and all HTML to keep the 
mail size small.

There are places like the Facebook groups for large messages, images, 
etc.

Dennis
