Subject: Re: [Healeys] Bouncing e-mails.
Bill and List,
I think many people are likely to see more emails bounced for exceeding the
list's maximum size because of the recent changes made to the list.
That change means that if the poster's email to the list contains html, it
will be sent, with html, out to members of the list. Previously, the html
would have been stripped and sent out only in plain text. When someone
replies to that email, some email programs may automatically use html to
compose the reply sent back to the list.
An html message will almost triple the size of an email for 2 reasons:
1) Because of the presence of html markup (that stuff that you don't see in
your email reader, but tells the reader what fonts to display, bold,
italics,
etc.) the size of the email has to be larger. Depending on how badly the
email program produces html (and some are REALLY bad), a simple one
paragraph
email might exceed the list's maximum size.
2) Every list message sent in html contains TWO versions of the message: one
in plain text, and one with html formatting. Obviously, this alone will
almost double the size of the message and make it much easier to go over the
list's size limit.
If Mark (the list maintainer) really wants to keep html messages, he should
increase the maximum allowed size of a message.
Actually, I would rather Mark reverse the recent change, and NOT allow html
messages on the list.
