I was looking at my BadMail area where messages are sent to mostly because it may be a new area not setup in Renegade. But on a couple of them I saw this: Reason: Message too Long

Is there a switch or setting I need to change? Because the message I was looking at was already setup in File Base for Renegade.

Well, it's been fun setting up Renegade again, been more that 20 years ago I last ran it. I will continue to keep this bbs up to date to keep it a viable and interesting place to hang.

See ya later.

There is no setting in Renegade for the size of messages.

Hello Paul,

Has anyone mentioned this to Toby?

Not that I know of. It's usually stats reports that mine borks on and can't handle.

I had this problem years ago with the OS/2 version I was using. It was large new files posts that were causing problems. I was able to set my buffers to large in the OS/2 version and after that I had no problems.

Is there an option like that in your version of FE?

Ttyl :-),

Fastecho is a broken piece of abandonware shit. The way it is hardcoded to strip Seen-by lines on internationally-distributed echoes has been the cause of many duplicates in this network.

Don't hold back :) I'm well aware of your feelings on this one.
