Thanks. I didn't have anything *really* large but I removed a few messages, 
starting with the largest, until things started working again. 
Unfortunately, I was not methodical enough to keep a record that would 
narrow down the offending message, so even if having it would help I can't 
supply it with any certainty.

Thanks for the help.
