•Max Message - Specify a maximum message size. By default, the message size is limited to 1,024 characters. Setting a lower value may be necessary for those email clients/devices (e.g., cell phone, etc.) that have limited viewing size. The message is truncated at the maximum size limit.

•Compress White Space - When this box is checked, all white space (CR/LF) is removed from the message before transmission. This removes line breaks in the message and reduces message size.
