Found it and it in mbfido/filefind.c

There are four settings :

----
/*
 *  The next constants are to prevent overflowing the echomail areas
 *  with huge replies. MAX_DESC_LINES limits the number of file description
 *  lines, 5 should be enough. The other two are the maximum files to report
 *  if in the same area or different area.
 *  For netmail replies there is a different limit.
 */
#define MAX_DESC_LINES          5
#define MAX_FILES_SAMEBOARD     25
#define MAX_FILES_OTHERBOARD    50
#define MAX_FILES_NETMAIL       100
----

Andrew is there any way we can change these as a param for configure or better
still within the system set up params ?
