@LouisIngenthron Mm, what kind of email does it want?
@trinsec It's for reporting crimes to a government agency. So... kinda important to include everything.
@LouisIngenthron Uh, okay. In that case 5k characters doesn't seem a lot.
@trinsec And the worst part is that it gives that error message even when my input is only 4800 characters 🤦♂️
@LouisIngenthron Uuuuhhh... Maybe it counts multiple for unicode characters too?
@LouisIngenthron Dunno, maybe if the email contents have unicode?
@LouisIngenthron It is entirely possible their software is just buggy.
Unless they actually meant 'at least 5k chars'?
@trinsec No, definitely not. The especially curious thing is that the field itself is limited to 5,000, so it cut off the end of my content *before* refusing to let me submit.
@LouisIngenthron What was the error message saying when you tried it at 4800 chars? That you still exceeded 5k chars there? Even though the field itself is limited at 5k already?
Does sound like a buggy mess to me.
@trinsec Yup.
@trinsec I thought that was when it switched to a base-64 encoding for that very reason.
