[buug] attachments through majordomo?

This would be something you configure in the mail daemon (sendmail),
not in majordomo.  But it's hard to think of a reasonable
configuration that would stop a 45k message nowadays.  At my last job
I drew the line at 10M, but even that was too draconian to some people.

What happens if you send a plain message (no attachments) that size?
And when it fails, does it bounce or what?  What does the sendmail log
say, did sendmail ever see it?

Skip> By the way, is there a BUUG meeting this Thursday?

I think so, reminder: we intended to exchange GPG key signatures.

By the way: I am trying to help, but as others have already said, the
unwrapped lines are irritating.  If Eudora can't do this for you,
how about switching to a mail program that can?  Though in my
experience Eudora is among the better PC clients, and should have this
simple feature.
