[issue23906] poplib maxline behaviour may be wrong

[shiyao.ma]

shiyao.ma added the comment:

Instead of setting a MAXSIZE for the email body, rasing up the MAXLINE might be more meaningful.


Consider the case of MAXSIZE, it's essentially the same as MAXLINE. If MAXSIZE is relatively small, some messages won't pass through. If the MAXSIZE is relatively large, then what's the meaning of setting it?


Thus, it might be more practical to increase the value of MAXLINE so that 99% messages can pass through.
