Your mail to 'ubuntu-users' with the subject

   summary on my previous post - "SSH connection problem"

Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval.

The reason it is being held:

   Message body is too big: 47715 bytes with a limit of 40 KB

Either the message will get posted to the list, or you will receive
notification of the moderator's decision.  If you would like to cancel
this posting, please visit the following URL:


however, i checked my mail (it was written in gedit and from the statistics
in tool menu) it was only 14997 bytes, 14KB. so why this is happening? i
really want to post this mail for help. is there any way to solve the issue?

thanks.
