<br><font size=3>There is the "scrub attachment" option for non-digest
format. (When you scrub attachments, they are stored in archive area
and links are made in the message so that the member can access via web
browser. If you want the attachments totally disappear, you can use content
filter options.) It's currently set to "no." </font>

Message body size on coin-discuss is limited to 40K. There's no<br>
separate setting for attachment size. I'm not sure why this limit<br>
didn't block today's message, but I'll investigate some more.<br>
<br>
Having said that, the etiquette for attachments is more or less what<br>
Andreas says. Larger attachments can be uploaded to Trac pages or
Trac<br>
tickets, if appropriate. There's nothing wrong with opening a ticket<br>
for a suspected problem--in fact, that's generally to be preferred, as<br>
we can track issues as tickets more easily than as e-mails.<br>
