Re: Request for UI and String freeze break for DoS bug

Hi Javier,

If I get you right, you mean a configuration option in Preferences to
set the message limit, instead of a ENV variable. Am I right? I think it
should be fairly possible. It is just a matter of time. I'm not sure, If
I can push that before 2.8.2, but definitely possible for further
releases on stable, if the release team approves them too :).

Thanks
Srini.
