Hmm, the size of the email + 2 answers? The list server works better if you remove anything which is not required for it to work. What you are proposing, essentially, is that we adapt the size to the sum of all known netiquette mistakes. That is a solution which I don't like very much. Instead of increasing the size limit so much, or even in addition to, could we make sure that the messages sent by the list server warn the user about removing all the unnecessary stuff? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
