Older versions (at least pre-1.7) of notes didn't allow articles >64K;
this problem has been fixed for quite some time.  There are mail systems
out there that don't allow messages to be more than 64K, too.  I agree
with Joe that this is also a good idea vis-a-vis human limits, too.

I make sure that no individual mod.sources (and soon, mod.sources.games)
posting is greater than 55K (sans headers).  Of course, this does have
its drawbacks:  the backlog is almost two weeks right now...
