Next Document: Q4.18 What is the difference between total-expire and auto-expire? See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge If Gnus tried to match some of the regexps used in splitting against extremely long header lines, the match attempt would take far too long to be tolerable. To deal with this, Gnus excludes long header lines from the function that does the splitting. If a mail message has, for example, a To: header longer than 1024 characters, that line will not be considered for splitting purposes. Very recent versions of Gnus (pgnus, thus all official versions >= 5.8) deal with this a bit better. In those versions, the long lines are truncated instead of excluded, and there is a variable, nnmail-split-header-length-limit, to control the threshold for truncation.
