- large mail messages
- The V7 mail program screws up badly if a mail message (including postmark)
- is larger than 32768 characters: it loses the mail and appends a couple
- of bytes of garbage to the mailbox. Such large mail messages seldom occur
- in intrasystem traffic but are not unheard-of when mailing files across
- the network. The problem is that the byte counter in copylet() is an int.
- The fix is trivial: in about line 329, change the declaration of k from
- int to long.
