The flip side is that if you allow a subscriber to change Attachments = Yes to Attachments = No, then it must be possible for the subscriber to set it back to Yes again. On the face of it, that is reasonable. However, if you are a list owner who does not like subscribers to post attachments, than allowing an individual subscriber to set Attachments = Yes will defeat the list owner's preference. It is like allowing a subscriber (perhaps a misbehaving one) to change NOPOST to POST. -- Michael S.
