A compromise could be to remove the raw.log from the emails, and send the config in 'defconfig' format rather than the full config; that trims it down from 5256 lines to 925 currently. That would get rid of most of what is bloating the size of the emails, while still keeping the (very useful) C and syzkaller reproducers. Dashboard would still have everything, of course. Eric
