Well, the filtering out of the HTML part of the message (which I assume is
there since Richard is using Outlook Express, which wants to do that), would
roughly cut the message in half. But Richard says his Mailman isn't set to
strip the HTML part.

My next idea (pending seeing the Mailman screen shot) would be to resend
that test message, but increase its size (copy from the sent mail (not the
message as received back), and paste twice into a new message should do it),
and see what happens. I'm still bothered, though, by the original message
about ALL messages being truncated at 47K.

And then do the same after forcing Outlook Express to send plain text only
for the test message.

The only other thing I can think of is some odd interaction among Exim,
Mailman, and Cygwin.
