Java3d-interest list, Is there any way to set this list up to prevent people from shoving multi-mb messages down everyones throats? There are multiple other options for people to make files available without attaching them to posts. If broadband was available in my area, I would get it. But it's not.
Surely the list software must be able to set a threshold on the size of attachments that will be accepted.
