[Wien] Calculate the allowed volume of Emails

Thanks to Mathew Peet for sending the above valuable reply privately to me.
Since this issue may happen also to others, let me report my
understanding. If we use the default of Gmail, the format of context
is Html and this format has a large volume compared to "plain text
mode". Therefore, sometimes the calculated volume of our Emails will
be larger than the allowed volume of the Mailing list, i.e., 40 KB. To
solve this problem, we should change the mode of our Emails to "plain
text mode" instead of the default format of Gmail, i.e., "Html"
format.
Sincerely yours,
Reyhaneh Ebrahimi

We know that each character is 1.024 bytes. Therefore, my Email approximately had 1355 bytes or 1.355 KB. But, my Email came back to me with the following phrase "Message body is too big: 46620 bytes with a limit of 40 KB". Why is the calculated volume of my Email different from the one that the mailing list of WIEN2k sent me? In other words, I do not know how the mailing list calculates the characters of our Email. Would you, please, help me to understand this issue?
