Hello,

My intention was to take the chance to cheerfully remind of the list 
policy. Evidently I misperceived my own cheerfulness, and I started a 
thread.

As already explained to Chas offlist, I have been archiving the list 
since 2000 (call it collector compulsion, a personal archive allows for 
more flexible searches than the available web services). Every time I 
update my main machine I move all my mail, including the list archive. 
Regular large attachments will force me to abandon this habit, since I 
will be less happy to move around gigs of mail.

Some stats fun: the "incriminated" message (11M) is around 2000 times 
the median size of the mails sent to the list since 2000 (5K) and around 
2 years of messages.

I would be more than happy if the list server allowed subscribers to 
decide whether to receive attachments above a specified size.

All the best,

	Bruno
