Dear Nina and friends,

the welcome message which is sent to new members when they sign up
has a limit of 2000 characters. I agree that it is an important
introduction of the group to new members. The 2000-character limit
can only be overcome using an attached text file, which will also be
sent automatically to new members. On second thought, I agree that it
may not be pleasant too.

As for the normal messages, I think there is also a limit, but it is
at least 10,000 characters. Additional characters will be truncated
by Yahoo! system.

metta,
Yong Peng

I did not realize at all about space limit. I only thought this: for
a newcomer who takes the trouble to introduce himself a silent crowd
may not be encouraging. But if you prefer another system, I like to
leave to you whatever is best. I think a file is unpleasant, it clogs
up one's mail or cannot be opened by all computers. Does the space
limit go for any message or question concerning the Pali here? I have
no idea how things are working here.
