Re: [abcusers] attachements to the lists.
Please do not send attachments to the lists. It slams the mailserver. Slows down delivery of mail to all users and lists served by the machine. I don't want to have to set up a filter to bounce all mail with attachements. Thanks! and that goes *particularly* for Taral's PGP bumf. MIDI or PS files, while perhaps better transmitted in another way, often make useful points in a discussion; crypto signatures contribute absolutely nothing except clutter and annoyance. Hs anybody here ever run a PGP verifier over Taral's sig to authenticate one of his or her messages? === http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/ === To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

This seems like a better approach, since it distributes the sender's description, so subscribers know what was sent. It quickly gets across the message that some other scheme will be needed to get the (usually huge) attachment to interested parties. And it blocks distribution of most Windows virus/worm programs, since they mostly use the attachment syntax to hide their true nature from victims.

It really makes sense to use attachments for something like an ABC file that the reader may want to save separately. But of course large attachments are discourteous. The Mailman lists I maintain give you a default limit of 40Kb, which seems to be reasonable -- it allows normal size text files and small graphics but not giant postscript, pdf or graphics files. -- Laura (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] , http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (801) 365-6574 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

I also admin a few lists and 40KB seems plenty for the abc users list. Dave To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

Luis, the usual way of distributing binary material like this is to put it on a website or ftp site and post the url to the list.
