Subject: attachments From: "Bruno L. Giordano" <bruno.giordano@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2009 02:37:52 -0500 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>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 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bruno L.
