Hello all
Today I wanted to send a somewhat large PDF and a "sorry" window poped up saying: "Your administrator has disallowed attaching files bigger than 50MB".
Being teh administrator, I can't remember ever settting this limit, but more important: I have no idea where this setting is controled. I don't know of any "administrator" settings in TDE, I can't find anything in kmail's settings.
Is kmail looking anywhere else for this limitation?
Regards,
Thierry

Found this snippet .... <quote> MaximumAttachmentSize
This allows the maximum filesize allowed for attachments in the mail composer to be limited. To limit attachments to 20 MB in size, for example, add a line under [Composer] section of the Configuration File:
MaximumAttachmentSize=20
Alternatively, input the following into Konsole:
kwriteconfig --file /path/to/kmailrc --group Composer --key MaximumAttachmentSize 20
</quote>
Perhaps not actually in kmail config, but prolly in kwrite config, the default composer for kmail.

That was it. There is no option in the GUI settings, and there is also no "MaximumAttachmentSize=50" in kmailrc, but adding this line does marvels :)
Thanks a lot and a good day (or night, depending where you live...)

You can change the size but it will probably not go through anyway. Most ISP and mail providers cap at 20mb although I have seen size limits between 5mb and 25mb I don't know of any that allow 50mb attachments. There are web services to exchange larger files including dropbox.

My ISP, Zen, does. They discourage it but allow it. "For both incoming and outgoing e-mail the limit is set to attachments with a maximum size of approximately 80 Megabytes, depending on the type of encapsulation (base64, uuencode etc.) used by your e-mail software." https://support.zen.co.uk/kb/Knowledgebase/What-are-the-email-file-size-limi...
My recipients, however, can usually not receive them. :-(

Perhaps thats why I never got an ack from the recipient who had requested it to be sent via email, the girls mother who lives in Orlando FL. I did get a thank you for the DVD'S I mailed half a dozen of to her so she could pass them out to the kids and her new in-laws.
I suppose the email, which at the time took much of an hour to send on the net connection I had then, a bad copper Verizon connection I had to finally terminate as I had been without a phone, but the net still worked as it only needs one good wire, for over 2 months total by the first of May that year, got routed to /dev/null someplace. I think thats called voting with your wallet.
Now I have a phone for about 45 minutes after a power failure, when the cable backup batteries are finally depleted. That's not on site, as theres a 20kw nat gas fired generator that fires up about 5 seconds after the lights go out here. So my stuff is covered by standby power site wide. The Missus has COPD, and a long loss of AC in the heat of the summer could finish her. I don't like burying wives, BTDT back in 1969 already. Stroke at 34. A good girl, I still miss her. That family is all gone now, cancer 2, booze 1, out of the three children she gleefully gave me.
You say I've had my quota of losses in that department.
Cheers, Gene Heskett

Interesting. `twould have been nice if the file it was in had been named.
That phrase is not grepable in my home directory. And my home dir contains no kwriterc. kwriterc does exist in /home/amanda and in /home/nut according to a locate report. TDE R14.0.4 at current time.
And, this it the default kmail composer/editor. I tried using vim for a week or 2, at least a decade ago, but decided kmails composer was less trouble. Biggest problem is that it autotriggers into html mode too easily. And me, not noticing the toolbar change, might send several gobs of crap before I discover that. If I turn it off in the options pulldown, it should STAY OFF until _I_ select otherwise!
I don't recall ever seeing that refusal msg, but the biggest attachment I've ever sent was a 2.2Gbyte wedding I'd shot and edited my shakes out of. Its a digital Hi8 camera and the output, while near hidef quality, is about 0.1 gigabyte a minute. kino, since it knows how to run that camera via its firewire interface, had no problem with the size of the finished product.
