    Yesterday, a posting to this list contained an 8MB attachment. It blew
    my inbox quota and caused some incoming mail to be lost.

    I propose that the list be changed to disallow attachments. If you want
    to post something big, then post its URL. In this case it was an IBM
    Redbook, which definitely has a URL that could have been posted, instead
    of sending us all the whole pdf file.
