[Mailman-Developers] Handling of Posts held for approval and attachments

[Dan Mick]

>From Defaults.py (which, if you want to change it, as always, put 
something in mm_cfg.py to override the Defaults setting):

# how many bytes of a held message post should be displayed in the admindb web
# page?  Use a negative number to indicate the entire message, regardless of
# size (though this will slow down rendering those pages).
ADMINDB_PAGE_TEXT_LIMIT = 4096


Really, it's good to read through Defaults.py and see what else is customizable.
