Many thanks John.
I have tried sending a pure text message with a large text only body.
It has been truncated too. All messages regardless of type or attachments
appear with a total file size of 70 Kb. Message content is limited to 47Kb.
Attached is a screen shot of the configuration.
Here is log message: note the S=67197 - this value is similar but does vary
some.

We have no mime filters set.
