The list already has a funtion for this and limits the size of attachements. This << problem >> has nearly exclusively to do with the archives. If we really have the technology (and I am sure we do) to do something about it, why not address the actual problme instead of creating a couple new ones ? I would suggest that all attachments, and all HTML formating be stripped from the each mail before being sent to the archives. That way, we could post reasonbly sized pictures as we have been for years now, and solve a long standing problem with the archives at the same time. Seems a lot easier then getting somebody to sift manually through all these things, approve or dissaprove, and somehow mangage to re-establish a link to the origional posting they were sent with. Not to mention the HTML problem not being addressed by Kents suggestion. I aggree that the archives should be cleaned up however. 100 % -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
