It would certainly make sense to provide separate size limits for attachments and linked attachments. Normally, the size limit for linked attachments would be much larger than the limit for RFC-822 attachments. As we had already a "File Transfer" service (akin to Imp's linked attachments) in place, I had to modify imp/templates/compose/compose.inc to adapt it to our situation (no linked attachments, rather a link to our service). One reason not to allow linked attachments were storage, and backup, considerations: Imp's upload drectory can be kept small, and temporary (e. g. a RAM disk), when no linked attachments need to be kept for days, or even weeks. For sites like ours, some configurable backend, or hook interfaces, for the linked attachments would come handy. It would be nice to exploit Imp's user interface for the linked attachments (including a note on the URL, in the message being composed), but still use some external service for the actual storage (and later retrieval) of the files being linked. I had not yet the time to think about the details of this proposition, hence I haven't filed a formal enhancement request. Any ideas?
