I'm thinking now that when the org-protocol is invoked on Win XP via the ca= pture javascript code that it's essentially the same as calling a windows = command line. The Windows XP command line has an upper limit of 8192 charac= ters. You can reach that fast because every space character gets translated= into 3 url characters. This limits the ability of the nifty capture techno= logy which is a shame. I imagine the work-around would require some sort of= plug-in for FireFox. The command line limits for Linux are much higher, so people using org-mode= on those platforms would rarely encounter the barrier. I guess there's not that many people using org-mode on Windows, if I'm the = only one noticing this problem. Oh well, cutting and pasting isn't that ted= ious.
