I was testing around last night to try to determine the size limit on the message body and discovered that when you add characters to the subject or addressee, you're given a lower allowable length for the message body. The message body length limit was in the ballpark of a thousand characters. So it appears that the size of a mail message is limited to 1KB, including the header information (addressee, subject, attachments). I didn't want to add this to the article though since it's based solely on observation and testing. Can anyone confirm? -- [[User:Sekoia|Sekoia]] 18:56, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Mail Size

I was testing around last night to try to determine the size limit on the message body and discovered that when you add characters to the subject or addressee, you're given a lower allowable length for the message body. The message body length limit was in the ballpark of a thousand characters. So it appears that the size of a mail message is limited to 1KB, including the header information (addressee, subject, attachments). I didn't want to add this to the article though since it's based solely on observation and testing. Can anyone confirm? -- Sekoia 18:56, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Probably 1000 characters even, as that's the same as the bio length (including carriage returns as a character) and they seem to like to repeat limitations a lot. No confirmation though, just gut feeling. ~ AGGE talk/cons 19:12, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
