   I know it does. Part of me does not understand why the onus falls on my    
   shoulders to handle this instead of the author of the message-posting software   
   not splitting large messages into managable chunks.   
      
   Let me look at the code when I have some time... translation, boredom.   
      
   It may only be possible to skip messages beyond 64k; splitting them will be a    
   challenge with very little heap-memory to work with and already pushing limits   
   of what can be done with 640k.   
      
   I'm reluctant to start changing code largely untouched for decades.
