For some reason Mark's post (60668) included the message twice (once
as an attachment), taking its size to around 17kb. Brennan's follow-up
in the thread did the same for an even larger message. What do they
have in common? Client: Apple Mail.

It's very unusual to have a no-nonsense text message > 16kb.  But I've
found one exception: NaHi's declaration (58018) that RAA project names
would freeze, which included all current project names.  While this
post is obviously justified, a 16kb limit would not be too harmful in
this case: he could either put the list on the Wiki (or elsewhere),
or as a compressed attachment.
