I do not get truncated digests here, but this may be partly due to using
juno V1 on W3 not V2 on W9x.
Try sending a "set accmail nomime" command, as juno tends to be more
forgivving to non-mime messages, and the mime stuff adds bulk to each
message.
And the juno limit without truncating is 60K (not 64K) not counting the
headers. The 64K limit is including headers. In digest mode, the
individual message geaders should count as body, with only the main
digest header (above the TOC) counted as header.
31 Digests from December of 1998 total 430668 Bytes. Average of under
14KB each, but non-mime. (that number includs some, but not all,
headers.)

This IS in the FAQ: What is happening is that your software is decoding
the first part only, and not the others. It may be best if you can set
the software to not decode UU attachments, then use an external decoder
that can process multiple parts to create the zip file. The other
method(s) are listed in the FAQ.

My ISP imposes no real limits on size of mailbox (within reason!) and I have
often received mail of up to 3MB, so there's no problem there. Anything like
attachments are automatically uu- or mime- encoded, but Accmail of course always
comes in plain ascii.
I download my mail via qwk packets and read it on my favourite text-based OLR,
which unfortunately will not accept more than 1000 lines - any mail larger than
this I then read on another GUI OLR, and have never had any trouble there. In
fact, the only times I've ever had truncation problems have been with Accmail.
>So there are three places we might look to find the truncation problem:

No problem here either!

Now that's an interesting speculation! Anyone got any ideas on this?
In any case, I'm not alone with this problem!

Dear Dr Klemm and List,
Referring to your below massage, I'd like to let you know that I'm
subscribed to 17 mailing lists at onelist.com and I manage every one
of these subscriptions by e-mail only.
I noticed that in your subject line it says SearchnFind; could it be
that you have used a wrong command line? The list name is "seeknfind"
So, to set onelist subscriptions to digest, send the message:
<listname>[EMAIL PROTECTED]
(Listname without brackets)
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Frits Westra -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I guess a mini hex/ascii chart should be in the FAQ's.
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 4 4
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F 0 9 A B C D E F 0 1
SPACE ! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / 0 9 : ; < = > ? @ A
5 5 5 5 5 5 6 6 7 7 7 7 7 7
A B C D E F 0 1 A B C D E F
Z [ \ ] ^ _ ` a z { | } ~ DEL
The DEL above is NOT the DEL or Delete key on your PC keyboard. Values
with first digit greater than 7 are NOT standard ASCII, and the character
shown is dependant on the font/code-page/hardware settings. Values with
first digit of 0 or 1 are "control" characters. While some hardware can
display these, they are intended for functions, not display.
The windows Calculator, in "Scientific" mode, can do
Decimal/Octal/Hexadecimal conversions. After converting to decimal, PC
users can enter the character by holding down [alt] while typing in the
decimal value ON THE NUMBER PAD. (release [alt] between characters)

please change the three digit number to ###, so as to help prevent this

>------------------------------
The most common cause of this, is a begin ### sequence (usually near the
beginning of a line) imbedded in the digest. I would not expect
MegaReader, not even an OS/2 version (Is that not what MR/2 is above?) to
be affected by this, but...
What happens with some readers is that they see the begin ### line, and
think that is the beginning of a UU-encoded file, and block the rest of
the message, in this case the rest of the digest, from showing in the
text display. Simultaneously, they attempt to provide a decoded
"attachment".
The cure is to disable automatic recognition of this type of attachment,
both for this, AND to prevent problems with multi-part attachments.
The other cure may be to not take the list as digests.

Accmailers,
Yesterday I tried my favorite search engine, InferenceFind, and noticed
that they had completely redone the web interface. They made search
page better but addded frames - ugh. Well, I wrote a note to the
webmaster and asked if they could remove the frames. Well lo and
behold, when I tried it this morning, the frames were goooooone!
Now that is what I call service. So we can still use InferernceFind by
E-mail methods easily.
My FAQ is old but still OK. For those wanting to use Getweb or
