Oh please. I count a total of 9 post attachments from 2005 to 2011 on the OOo user list that are over 1MB in size. If you had any multiples it was due to some 'helpful' list person that responded with the original attachment included.

So find a better email/nntp client that allows you to download and review only the headers + msg size prior to downloading. In most cases I found/find OOo list attachments very helpful in assisting the user. > > Such mails should be blocked in ANY case Again, use an email/nntp client that can be configured to read headers/size before downloading. If that doesn't work, then don't read the list when you are in situations where you can't control the download. ... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
