[pmmail-list] can't send message over 141 kb

[Marty Rimpau]

Hi, Carl, the message is 143 kb in size, but curtis, on the list, who
has xp can forward the message and copy and paste just fine, but the
girl in question and I are using windows 98 se, so, from the preview
pane, when copying and pasting in to the message editor, the message is
truncated, but from the read message window, it is not, yet, the whole
message appears after I've pasted the message in, yet, if I send the
message, and have chosen a signiture, just the signiture appears with
nothing else.  On Sun, 14 Dec 2003 22:34:22 -0500 (EST), Carl Gehr
