} Now I'm really confused.  The SizeLim keyword takes lines as the argument.
} So does Digest.  And what about Long-Lines -- that works on a line by line
} basis even.

Yes Bill.  And this exposes what (IMHO) is a design flaw in Listserv.

If you have a mailer that doesn't insert CRLFs and sends a paragraph as
one loooooonnnnnnnnng line,  that paragraph is counted as one line
against sizelim.
