Can the owner of MECCSA please set the list filter out attachments?
(Simpler than asking members not to send them.)
I asked this directly (to the owner's email address) but got no reply.
An attachment may contain a virus, may be in a format others cannot
use, may not make it through some mail gateways, and will bog down
both the list server and members' mail servers. (9/10 times they come
through to me as multiple emails of code!)
Instead, for announcements, cfps, etc., simply post in the message as
a plain ascii text, or point us members to a webpage containing the
info.
thanks,
Daniel.
