Thanks for pointing out the issue, Lars - though I personally do not think that 2mb is a sizeable chunk by measures of most modern mail hostings, and though the offending letter can simply be deleted, I agree that for some purposes attaching megabyte-sized files to wide mailing list postings is inconvenient. I will consider archive.to in the future.
In order to provide a sense of scale, the allowed size for my mail spool is in the vincinity of tens of megs, and the home directory I can use procmail to sort into mailboxes with is a few gigs, out of which 1.5 gigabytes is taken up by mailing list archives. Not everyone uses gmail, you know, particularly as their threading support is abysmal. -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se
