Hi Michael & all, The other thing I have just noticed is, that you might be sending attached files. Now this is usually fine if it is an image and it fits the size remit, but if it is a movie file (any movie) it will very likely be stopped from entering the list itself, due to the mail software being set up to presume that it is a virus.
We get many types of strange files being sent to the list by all sorts of dubious hackers etc, so - I am would be able to cancel that restriction, mainly so other people on the list are not compromised with an influx of troublesome files self-opening onto their computers and causing unrest. So, the alternatives are upload them somewhere and then add the file info as links - then we can download them nearer the time of exhibiting the work for showing in the gallery space... or keep the size small as before and I will release it as a direct file-link (as before) for viewing via everyone's email client. The other thing - GIFS can also be used but remember the file size limit is 250 kb marc > Hi Michael, > > I just checked and the restriction is slightly above 250 kb, but every > now and then a piece of code or text format, pushes it above and will > get stuck.
