dovecot - Aug 2005 - Not the server can do anything about it, but...

WIBNI if the clients' message composition windows displayed the size of 
the prospective outgoing message as a color-coded BIG number...
<50K green
<200K yellow
<500K orange
 >1MB red
...or some such..

Idiot clueless users occasionally send inadvertantly huge messages...the 
problem is that there is currently no feedback loop (like this 
suggestion)....nobody would mail a 100 pound hardcopy 'quick' USPS note 
to Aunt Mildred, but they're often doing the equivalent in email.

If you bump into any client designers, give them the suggestion
