be a good limit? The interesting part of the diff might be preceded<br/> | |||
by a lot of 'noise', especially if multiple files are touched, so long<br/> | |||
messages are not a bad thing. And as this is a read-only list, users<br/> | |||
won't be attaching large binary files to their messages. So would it<br/> | |||
be good, in addition to setting these line limits, to increase the<br/> | |||
size limit a little? It will be hard to match line number to a KB<br/> | |||
number, so it might save admins from having to check and accept<br/> | |||
messages via the Mailman web interface. It could be a good long term<br/> | |||
time saver.<br/> | |||

certainly tune the numbers on both the sending side and the mailing list<br/> | |||
side and move towards a more optimal balance. | |||
