I want to send more than 20Ko text. Is there a way to do that?
After a bit of web searching it seem Rev folks aren't the only ones bit
by this Microsoft bug/feature. Various limitations in IE and Outlook
suggest it may not be possible to reliably create a new email form with
more than somewhere between 500 and 2k chars (depending on the specifics
of the user's setup).
Perhaps the most reliable method would be to bypass Windows altogether
and use a CGI to send the email.
Here's the handler I use in my CGI library for sending email:
on cgiSendMail pTo, pFrom, pSubject, pMessage
put "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t" into tSendMailProg
open process tSendMailProg for write
write "From:" && pFrom & cr to process tSendMailProg
write "To:" && pTo & cr to process tSendMailProg
write "Subject:" && pSubject & cr & cr to process tSendMailProg
write pMessage & cr to process tSendMailProg
close process tSendMailProg
wait until tSendMailProg is not among the lines of the openProcesses
end cgiSendMail
If you use the POST method you should be able to send email with more
than 2k characters.
For getting started with Rev CGIs I know of no better resource than
Jacque's excellent guide:

WARNING: Writing CGIs in Rev is highly addictive and may have adverse
effects on your productivity for at least three days once you get hooked
and start writing all sorts of fun stuff. :)
