It will happen anyway. Archiving for the list doesn't need to be enabled. > Once we have images stored in the archives, how easy is it for members to > access them when they click on the links in the messages?

If and only if the list's archive_private setting is private, but since archiving is Off, if you want scrubbed attachments accessible without autnentication, just set archive_private to public. > Will we be able to selectively delete images when our disk space begins to > fill up?

The attachments for a message are stored individually in the directory archives/private/LISTNAME/attachments/yyyymmdd/xxxxxxxx/. yyyymmdd is the date and xxxxxxxx is a hash of the message, so you can delete individual files or the xxxxxxxx directory for all attachments for a single message or the yyyymmdd directory for all attachments from a given day. > If anyone who's using this option could forward me a message from their list > with a linked image so I can check how well it works, that would be greatly > appreciated. Why not just try it yourself on a test list? -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
