<div>I think some of the confusion comes from the fact that the
setting name -- "archive max size" -- very strongly implies
(incorrectly) something like "the largest size of message that
will be archived" / "messages larger than this will not be
archived at all". It takes a fair bit of attentive reading to
overcome that initial implication and reach the correct
understanding, that "messages larger than this will be archived
immediately, without waiting for archive_days".<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But I haven't thought of a better name for this setting
either.<br>

My training is originally in both software engineering and Technical
Communications and this sounds like a REALLY good argument for
changing the name of the setting. "max_size_delayed_archive" --
where are they held if not archived immediately?
"max_size_cached_before_archiving" ?<br>

<div> IMHO, it makes sense when you know how it works, or when
you develop the sentence, but the part "won't be archived
immediately" is confusing. Sorry I am not native english and
this could count, I got confused about the text that's because
I had to look into code.<br>
</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> Mmm... I have used right now the (infamous) google
translator to check if I am wrong, and translation to spanish
(my native) is:<br>
</div>
<div> "El tamaño en kilobytes del mensaje más grande que no será
archivada de inmediato"<br>
</div>
<div> Believe me... it is backwards :(<br>
</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> What about something like this instead?<br>
</div>
<div> The size, if greater or equal, in kilobytes of the message
that will be archived immediately regardless of archive_days
setting. Default is 1Mb<br>
