Russell,

Thanks for letting it through and for the advice re reducing size or saving=
 the files to another location.

Richard

:**GENERAL ADVICE**
:
:This message was slightly above the Mailman maximum allowed limit.
:I let the message through, but attention to file sizes would be
:appreciated.
:
:    > Cause: Message body is too big: 41657 bytes with a limit of 40 KB
:
:I had a look to see what caused the (not unexpected) problem.
:
:Just trimming out the old text would have got it through
:
....
:The XLSX format was regrettably efficient.
:I tried saving in various flavours of Excel and got the same or worse.
:
:Saving as an Open Office .sxc file took size down from 26.4 kB to  23.8
:kB
:which is almost certainly not good enough - and data may have been lost
:in
:this format - although at a gflance it looks OK.
:
:Saving to an accessible location may be a good idea.
:
:Trimming ALL of the 6 list footers off the end would not have hurt, and
:trimming most of the prior text also helpful.
:Text was about 7 kB when copied into notepad and saved.
