Hi all,

The problems with the flood of email with attachements was somewhat my fault. 
Coz had sent several emails trying to post to the list which got caught in 
the queue. When I went through the queue a few days later I mistakingly 
allowed all the emails through and not just one (as I thought I had done). I 
realized my mistakes minutes later when I opened my email client but by then 
it was too late.

I have no problems with people attaching some small files if it helps to 
explain the content of the email. In this case it would have been better to 
point to a website or put it on the wiki...a link would have been more than 
enough :-)

P.S. I'll look at the list admin interface to see if I can limit the size of 
the attachments.
