Limiting message size

Hi,

Would it be possible to enforce a maximum size for each list message in the
classiccmp mailing list software? 20K maximum should be okay, and would prevent
people (accidentally or on purpose) sending large files through the list, as
just happened.

Otherwise when someone posts a large file to the list, those who subscribe to
the digest version especially must decide between downloading a huge digest
message file (containing the useless large posting), or skipping it and
therefore missing proper messages. (If they have configured their mail program
to alert them when large messages are waiting.)

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
