Well, it *is* twice the limit set on the group (per animation file) so not a
very good idea to break the message up anyhow. Esp. if done twice.  ;-)

I'll quote Ken:

"Maximum files sizes posted to the povray.binaries.animations group should
be
1 meg or less.
[Oversize files will be removed by the News Server Admins. This is to
help preserve the news server hard drive space]"

AFAIK there isn't a policy on breaking files, although I could have
overlooked that. Just doesn't seem acceptable to use it to surpass the 1 meg
limit.
