Form data limit

[Sean]

I have created a form that has around 30 text areas that
work ok with one or two characters entered in each one,
However if I enter 100 plus characters in each text area
some of the data is lost or cropped in the resulting
email.

Is there a limit to how much info you can collect with
one form.

Thanks Sean

On IIS5 (Windows 2000+) the limit for one form is 128k with each name/value
limited to 1024 characters - obviously not including file uploads. Don't
know what it is on Unix. There's also another limit (not dependant on OS)
which would be the user's patience - not many people would fill in a 30
field form unless it's something they really want

Using IIS 6 on win2003 with a Perl/CGI form handler and a form with a single
text area, I have successfully collected and emailed over 228000 characters.
