This RFC patch just happend to be unusually big because of it is quite a lot of cut and pasting to illustrate an idea. I don't know. What does other people say? Should large RFC patches be put on a webserver (WineHQ?) or is it OK to post them on the list? > Do anyone > else around wish for us to increase the wine-devel limit? Even our > low-bandwidth subscribers? I do not wish to increase it for casual posters but people that post a lot do not post large attachment without a good reason. Sure I _could_ have, by misstake, attached one (or more) of 5Mb+ debug logs that was in the same directory so we probably should have some limit. That probably would have pissed people off. :-)

There is no limit to the size of postings to wine-patches, but wine-devel, on the other hand, runs with a 40K limit. This was discussed briefly by web-admin, and nobody there saw a problem with safety limits on the non-patches lists. Do anyone else around wish for us to increase the wine-devel limit? Even our low-bandwidth subscribers?

Intresting but a little irritating feature of the new mailing list. I understand it is because some people post to long debug logs on the list. But it would be nice if people that are regular posters to the list be removed from the limit or at least have a larger limit. PS. If anybody cares my mail included a 85k large patch plus a quite long message. PPS. Hmm. Should I wait or should I post it without the patch, in the meantime. OK, I will wait, but if anybody really want to read "RFC: Logical to device translation layer" as soon as possible please mail me in private.
