Does the other table have fixed-length records (no VARCHAR, TEXT, or BLOB columns)? If so, the numbers for the pointers are in records, not bytes, so the table can reach 2**32 - 1 records before it's full. You can see what the maximum data length is with SHOW TABLE STATUS. For teh email_boy table, do you have any index other than the one for the primary key? The .MYI file isn't getting big, is it? -- Keith C.
