I too have fiddled with that setting, but ran into trouble anyway...
Thing is, the trouble wasn't in my setup here, nor in GIGO, but upstream a
couple of links, where they'd decided that 100k was a maximum email size. And
there doesn't appear to be anything I can do about it.
I used to watch as Eudora Light pulled in email and, when it got something
bigger than about 64k or so, it would split it up. Why? Beats the heck out
of me...
