Yes, I think Netscape imposes something like a 32K or 128K limit on the
<TEXTAREA> tag.  It's also set to a max of 65000 characters in the HTML
code, so even if Netscape didn't impose a limit, the web page would.

Strictly speaking, News-by-Mail subscriptions (a.k.a. the mailing lists) let
you *receive* specific groups via e-mail; they don't let you *post* to
specific groups via e-mail.  That is, as long as the system recognizes your
posting address, you can post to any group via e-mail, even if you are not
subscribed to it via e-mail.

Still, this is a tangible perception issue.  Furthermore, everyone really
should be able to post *any* DAT file through the web interface, period.  So
let me fix this.

Okie dokie.

Jonathan, try this now with your baseplate -- go here:

   http://www.lugnet.com/news/post/?lugnet.cad.dat

and click the "Browse..." button, and locate your .DAT file using that
dialog box.  Then enter any additional comments -- these will be added to
the article that gets posted (they'll appear above the .DAT content).

This should be able now to handle extremely large .DAT files.

(...) Thanks Todd! I can finally post large DAT files without worrying that chunks will be left out (eg, my truck). --Bram (25 years ago, 5-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
