RE: New Addition In The Family - See Attached File - Apologies +

["Dan Sinclair" <sinclair@prospro.com>]

Well, one problem could be that limiting attachments -period- could ditch
messages that include things like a Vcard (little signature card on the
message), or a message from someone who's attached a text attachment from
another message, or the like.  Some mail programs attach forwarded messages
as a text attachment as well.  If you restrict attachments, you don't get to
choose the content restricted - i.e. remove pictures but not big text files.

If someone has a picture they want to share, they should put the picture(s)
on a web site or host computer and send the link to the list.  Then if
anyone would like to see the pic(s), they can go to the link.  Saves grief
and keeps everyone happy.  Nuff said.  No ill will intended or implied.

Phil,
	I am assuming you are including me in the "dork" statement.  I
apologize for your inconvenience it was not intended to harm your pocket
book.  It does seem a little extreme to call me a dork.

	One question however, is it reasonable for the limitations of your
e-mail system to determine how the list should operate?  I have heard from
quite a few people that the attachment worked fine, so this is a serious
question.  I don't want to start a war (maybe too late) but instead of
forcing all of us to conform to the lowest standard why not just opt to not
open messages with attachments?
