    I'm noticing some longer text files posted using Ftools into a message base seem to truncate around 650 lines long. Can you check if there is a limit on the post function and if so confirm what it is?

    Best, Paul

    There is a configurable limit.

    In FSetup you have the setting: Miscellanious / Mail options / Max message size
    (kb)
    Which takes a value of 45 to 9999.

    The actual maximum for the text file that will be read, will be 4096 bytes smaller though, because FSetup reserves those 4096 bytes for msg headers and the like.

    Best, Paul

    Double?

    Bye, Wilfred.

    I have increased this from 45 to 9999 and will monitor to see if this
    helps.. thank you. :)

    Human text and an auto signature - opps.

    Don't set it higher than you actually need, because it reserves this memory everytime it's started...

    Bye, Wilfred.
