How long is too long for a post in this forum?

R

I tried to send the text of an error window that popped up in Excel, along
with some specific questions. I learned that one is not allowed to insert a
JPG, so I attached a couple. Then I got the too long message. I trimmed up
the body of the message and removed one JPG attachment and tried again.
This time, the system gave me a similar too long message and deleted my
outboxed message.

Each JPG file was only 60KB in size

So how long is too long, and how can we tell in advance of the system
deleting the whole message?

Can't you just incorporate the text of the message in your post?
