If I'm looking at the code correctly its 64k.

Ok, thanks.
There are bigger than that originated from 1:317/3 in a few file announcing echos. Over 200k actually. Some of them come thru just ok, but some get bro somewhere. All those broken ones have 229/426 in @PATH. So..

I don't bother reading messages larger than 64k... or even 6.4k.

What does DB do when it receives a message over 200k? It seems that it breaks it and produces crap.

So it turns out that it violates FCS-0001?

Extremely user-friendly ...
To be used as a point maybe. But as an echomail hub not.

The reality is that nobody reads messages over 64k, I don't read messages over 6.4k for that matter - and Fidonet was never designed for it. 64k was never an issue "then" in 1988 and certainly not an issue "now".

This message size issue is an old one. It shows itself from time to time.
I'm reluctant to start changing code largely untouched for decades.
