And, as a wish list, can you consider an option to disallow distributing the
attachment to the list members, but have a copy of it stored in the archives ?
This is continuation to my other request to see such a feature. I believe it
will greatly enhance and widen the spectrum of applications and usage of
listserv, so for instance if I have a list with many subscribers, sending each
the attachment can put a load on the disk space resource (say 100KB attachment
sent to 10K members) but if only one copy is stored in the archives and will be
accessible through the web, a short message pointing to it (can come inside the
same message that contains the attachment) will make it a great option to
distribute information.
Thanks,
Moshe
