well above most known fidonet software, yes... i'm aware of several packages
that can handle large messages without problems... one tosser, in fact, spools
to disk based swap files when it runs out of memory that it can process in...
and i hate to bring it up, yet again, but... if coders were to actually follow
the specs, we'd not be having these "problems" with message sizes... fidonet
specifications specifically allow for large messages via use of the phrasing
"message body unbounded" ;)
