   //Hello Carlos,//   
      
   on *26.11.22* at *8:27:38* You wrote in Area *WINPOINT*   
   to *Tim Schattkowsky* about *"long messages"*.   
      
    CN> Tim,   
      
    CN> WinPoint seems to have trouble with long messages.   
      
    CN> There have been some in FIDOTEST, around 200K. Here the first one was cut   
    CN> at 40K and the next ones were not tossed to the messagebase.   
      
   Cannot generally confirm this. There is no general limitation on the message   
   length (other a 2GB limit for an area file) and I recently did some testing   
   with long messages without problems. I only noticed that the word wrap   
   algorithm explodes for long messages leading to very long display times vor   
   certain contents. I have that on the list.   
      
   Still, if you have a message that causes problems, let me see. Can you send me   
   a corresponding .pkt containing these messages?   
      
   Regards,   
   Tim
