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

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.
HTH,

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.

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.

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."

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.
