PM message size limitations
I just spent 30+ minutes dividing up a well-written and though-out reply to a question from a fellow forum member into four separate messages so I could fit them all into the 2000 character size limit for individual messages.
Isn't there any way to increase that limit on message size? It doesn't really keep our messages to each other short or save storage space (heck, there a limits on the number of messages that collect in the mailboxes anyway); we just have to divide longer messages up and send them in installments.
I realize that 2000 characters may seem like a lot, but I've often run into this problem, both sending and receiving. Even Twitter doubled their original character limit :)
How about it? Can we increase the size of those personal messages to a more convenient one?
Best,
Doremus

I also HAD problems
Considering LFPF very occasional blackouts, I always move to personal email ASAP
Re: Private Message Settings
I've merged this with the relevant prior discussion so that we can recall where the current settings came from - see Ralph's post at the top. There's always a tradeoff.

Yes, I know - guilty as charged. But I didn't have time to write a shorter response :)
Still, unless there's some technical reason that the limit can't be increased, there's no advantage to having it since we just send our complete messages in installments. It just makes it less convenient to give a detailed and complete answer to a query. I think we should try to facilitate that if possible.
