Hi Ruth:

Thanks so much for your reply. I’ve reviewed the issue as reported on GitHub. I think I’ll use the SQL Update statements as provided in that issue till hopefully a future release addresses the issue.

I think any implementation of size makes it quite costly to run given the disk space requirements to handle how it presently grows the email\_stats table. I would imagine the [mautic.com](http://mautic.com) folks are experiencing some pain on this issue, ya?

Thanks again!  
Bob H.
