You can delete them yourself by selecting the message in OE, clicking on Message
on the menu bar, and selecting Cancel Message.

As far as 1.7 MB becoming 1K, it's because of the encoding.  The binary is
encoded to fit into 7 bit ASCII characters.  The best thing to do is shrink your
animation's size down or put it on the web somewhere and point to it here.

BTW, I thought the limit was 1MB after encoding here?
