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

[Marty Rimpau]

Hi, Carl, the message is truncated from the preview pane, but not from
the read message window, but it will not send, and don't know about the
values of non-printable characters and such.  I may try and find some
material that is over 150 kb and paste it in to a note pad document,
and try sending it, but not exactly sure what I have, maybe I can paste
a bunch of messages in to a document, and see what happens.  On Mon, 15
