Follow-up Comment #7, sr #106531 (project administration):
When the diff is large, just omit it and include a URL to a web-viewable
version of the diff (via LoggerHead for example). I mean, there's no point
mailing out 1MB diffs -- almost no one wants to receive those, even if when
mailing list software lets it through, which it usually won't anyway.
Tentative full solution for commit emails:
* Always include the URL to the web-viewable change.
* When the diff is less than (say) 100kb, include it too.
* When the diff is omitted, replace it with a message
explaining why.
* The diff (or the replacement message) should come after
the URL, so that the URL is always in a predictable
location near the top of the mail.
