Mark, thanks for the prompt reply.

Most of the posts on one of the mailinglists, dedicated to astrophotography,
have large pictures attached. 
It would be good to offload these from the database to a bigger HDD for
space constraints (DB is running on SSD).
I rather like to keep the occasional 'regular' attachments posted on the
other mailinglists in the DB. 

Best regards,
Eric

Yes, `django-admin attachments_to_file` does that. Note that depending on
your installation the `django-admin` command might be named `mailmanweb` or
`manage.py` or something else.

No.

Can you explain your use case that makes this desirable? It seems to me that
storing attachments in the DB or in the file system is a system
administrative decision, and normally at least, attachments are only
available to end users via the HyperKitty UI regardless of where they are
stored.
