Nothing more unconventional that displaying a list of records from a
database.
In plain tab-delimited form, the list itself is much smaller than the
copy stored in the custom prop. Apparently the redundant copy of the
data is being stored in the uniquely bloated htmlText format rather than
the simple tab-delimited format the field itself uses.
I don't know why the redundant copy is in htmlText, but then again I
don't know why it's there at all....
