I submitted a modified self-contained email as requested, but it does not
appear to have made it to the list, and I never got any kind of reject
message. It was around 1000 lines with no attachments. Is there a size
limit for posts, and if so, what is it? If it was rejected due to some
filter, it would be desirable (and polite) if the recepient was told what
happened.
