Syndicate: Do Not Send Attachments To Mailing Lists! |
dear stefan, dear friends, it is really against any nettiquette to send attachments to mailing lists. most people won't be able to read them, they are often a pain in the ass in terms of the size, and a possible way for viruses to spread. anything you send to the list should be readable through telnet/ascii-interfaces. you will find yourself that even those messages that are written with HTML coding often produce barely readable messages. mailing lists are text-based, if you want to do more fancy stuff, point people to web-pages or elsewhere. long live ascii! -a
