That's excessive, but that wasn't cool.
Maybe one of those initial messages from majordomo that you get when you
sign on should cover some basic rulez such as:
1) no binary attachments
unless there's a damn good reason
(hint, hint: a 2mb mp3 isn't)
2) list that message length limit now in effect (100k)
3) turn off your !#@$# request for receipts
that's annoying
4) try not to post in html
not everyone's mailreaders support it
Messages from this group didn't reach me from yesterday afternoon to
this afternoon, I don't know why because expert messages did. I think
maybe it has to do with that 2mb attachment.
Anyone else with me on these? Some of us think know this is common
curtosy, but obviously not everyone knows this.
