Isn't sending large attachments (2.6M) against the list code. I get my
mail over dial-up and for some reason getmail timed out trying to
retrieve the infected messages. I had to delete the problematic messages
via webmail!
Can't the list software strip large attachments, please.

than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other
possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.
