Yeah; debian-printing is using the default message size limit for mailing lists. We can bump it up if that's useful, but in general, sending large attachments is a problem, because mailing lists multiply attachments. [IE, if you send a 1M attachment to -devel, we're going to (potentially) send out gigabytes of attachments to the subscribers.] However, since there aren't that many subscribers on -printing, we could definitely increase the limit. > As far as I am concerned a change would enhance my workflow but maybe > other users of -printing see the proposal as having a negative impact > on the list. Unless someone has an issue, I can bump up the size limit for this mailing list. If I don't hear any objections (please send them to [email protected]) I'll bump up the limit to 512K. -- Don Armstrong https://www.donarmstrong.com A people living under the perpetual menace of war and invasion is very easy to govern. It demands no social reforms. It does not haggle over expenditures on armaments and military equipment. It pays without discussion, it ruins itself, and that is an excellent thing for the syndicates of financiers and manufacturers for whom patriotic terrors are an abundant source of gain. -- Anatole France
