Thanx Sergey,
By trial and error - I did find the limit to be around 550000 characters...
I had some one send a bad file through one of my edit programs which generated about 12 lines of error explanation per line that was sent resulting in this rediculaously hugh error report - stressing my edit program down to it's knees.
The perpitrators have since promised not to send garbage again, BUT,
I simply added code to limit the body size ...

       .body= CHR(10)+"Today "+TTOC(DATETIME( ))+ CHR(10)+CHR(13);
              +IIF(lGoodFile,FILETOSTR(cLogGood),SUBSTR(FILETOSTR(cLogBad),1, 543000))+ CHR(13)+CHR(10)
