I do not have that file; I sent it to you make sure you had the exact

That figures.
I tried a few hours before giving up, experimenting both with earlier
and later versions of the file. Normally, I would keep a copy until
the bug has been safely received. But I was just doing some
experimentation, and I have never before encountered a list where the
mail attachments are just thrown away.
Too bad...
Well, if the problem is in Guile, perhaps the problem is fixed by
switching to a later Guile version.
I have not encountered an email list where one just throws away
attachments. A more normal policy would be to keep the material until
a moderator have had a look at it.
Yes indeed. Would you like to volunteer?
Sure. But reality prevents me. :-)
I understand the problem with labour shortage. There is really no
good solution to the spam problem. If say the server sends an
automated reply, then that could trigger a flood of letters, as spam
ofetn has fake return addresses, just to achieve that. But if has an
automated system that just throws data away with no notice, one must
expect that sometimes some important stuff gets lost.
