The message was getting too big, (over 40K) so the system sends me a
note every now and then and holds the message.

I can increase the allowable message size, but this one is approaching
80K so I figure that some people may still be on dialup and would prefer
not to get large messages. I think I'll make a separate post on this to
find out...
