Excuse me but I don't really understand where is the *need* of accepting attachements in a mailing list read by amanda sysadmins, people that use to deal with **TEXT** config files all day long ? There is **absolutly** no need to accept the attachements. If anyone would ever need a binary or a picture of my dog, I would post an URL. So simple ! That would avoid : - the viruses - the too many automatic answers coming from antivirus software - the network load - the long and repeating threads -- Nicolas Ecarnot
