  • Re: Message too Long

    From Zazz@1:124/5014 to Nick Andre on Mon Oct 26 12:07:36 2020
    I was looking at my BadMail area where messages are sent to mostly beca may be a new area not setup in Renegade. But on a couple of them I saw Reason: Message too Long

    Is there a switch or setting I need to change? Because the message I w looking at was already setup in File Base for Renegade.

    There is no setting in Renegade for the size of messages.


    Well, then it might be FastEcho. I will check.

    Has anyone mentioned this to Toby?

    Not that I know of. It's usually stats reports that mine borks on and can't handle.

    I had this problem years ago with the OS/2 version I was using. It was lar new files posts that were causing problems. I was able to set my buffers t large in the OS/2 version and after that I had no problems.

    Is there an option like that in your version of FE?

    Yes, there is and I set it higher and so for the messages in Weather echo are importing with no problem.

    Yep it's a FE thing, I see it also for some messages it can't toss...

    Fastecho is a broken piece of abandonware shit. The way it is hardcoded to strip Seen-by lines on internationally-distributed echoes has been the cause of many duplicates in this network.

    Don't hold back :) I'm well aware of your feelings on this one.
