Yep, posting ten 32kb msgs instead of one 320kb message doesn't seem
like a very good solution. Even at that I've only seen it get split
once so I've never really had much reason to think about it. I leave
it at that because I've had tossers crash in the past and don't wish
that on anyone.
I guess that third party utility you spoke of is a good option if a
tosser can't do the deed itself, although I don't like the idea much.
Tossers that I know of, that are still being developed (HPT, MBSE,
SBBSECHO) and likely more that I have no experience with, do toss
large messages so we are moving in the right direction.
