I don't mind the idea, except I'm curious as to why there's a message length restriction. If someone doesn't want to read the entire message, they can either delete it then and there or move to the next name in the thread, depending on their client and mail reading preferences. What's more, most e-mail services give what is now an incredible amount of e-mail storage. Trimming messages is no longer a technical necessity.
On those grounds, I submit that the list itself offer complaints over messages which are too long. When I write a long message, I try to give people a heads up at the beginning, and I also expect that plenty won't read it. I view long messages as essential, however, as there are many instances where I could break up a message into multiple parts, but what's the point if I can write a single, flowing missive to the group. I hope this is well-received. Signed: Dakotah Rickard On 7/24/12, Damien C.
