Hi Juul

Did you realize that you were posting a 16MB attachment file to a public
mailing list!!!!!! I suppose this was by mistake.

You should NEVER NEVER post attachment of that size to maling lists.
There are a lot of people without highspeed internet connections out
there. Some of them may not be able to use IMAP and will have to
download all your 16MB file even if they are not interessted in.


Sidenot to the guys at Redhat: Can't you configure your mailinglist
server to reject messages with attachments larger than say some 10 kB.


Greetings,
 Christian
