 Seriously, just send me a note when you guys agreed on some limit.

I would vote more than 50K, if not all the way to 500. An Allan-length mail
with a 20K or 30K patch might get over the 50K limit.

 If there is a need, I can certainly restrict the size of the posts.  Any too
 large post would be bounced back to the poster.  Just tell me what a
 reasonable limit is. 500K comes to mind...  Anything larger can be posted on
 a webpage instead.

I'd be more inclinded to say 50kB.  That way my long posts will still get
through ;-) and most patch submissions also but someone on a modem won't
have to wait any longer than about 10-30 seconds for any given email to
download.
