I've been using the rtfm FAQ server for this year to post my FAQ.
However, I have recently run into a problem, as it turns out that my
email program (NS 4.61 on Win 95) cannot compose messages longer than 64
k. Sending my FAQ (which has recently grown to about 66k) as an
attachment adds MIME boundaries to the message, which the faq-server
parser cannot relate to.
Anyone else had this problem?
Thoughts on ways around it?
(For more info, I've attached a post to a netscape NG)
TIA,
Morten.
