<body><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></div>

<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></div>
