I've never run into a problem.  IN fact, I've never heard,
or read anything about a limitation in packet size.  Older
vers of squish, iirc had a 16k message size limit.  I"m
running the dos 386 ver as you are, and mine seems to split
overly long messages <knock on pressboard> whereas it's said that older version 
would rename a pkt with a long message to
*.lng and not toss the messages, but I"ve never seen that
behavior.

But, in case some folks are running mail processors that
barf on anything bigger than 16k if I post longer form
pieces such as some postings I make to the ls_arrl echo of
ham radio news items I split the input text file at 16k.  I
figre that should handle most of them, and I've seen no
complaints.
