Improve handling of long messages #1094

Open eloquence opened 4 years ago

eloquence commented 4 years ago

SecureDrop 1.3.0 implemented a maximum length on messages that can be submitted through the Source Interface. Even messages well below that 100K character limit may be too long to be managed effectively within the SecureDrop Client. We've discussed two patterns to use here:

progressive expansion of long messages up to a certain length
option to open messages above a certain length in disposable VM

This issue is to discuss and track implementation of these improvements.
