This needs to be public. It affects all of us. DO NOT USE FILE
ATTACHMENTS
TO THE LIST!!

Some of us, with more primitive (circa 1984!) computers, slow modems,
and
ancient email software don't have this option. We get the privelege of
waiting hours for useless files to download just so we can immediately
delete them. Or we have to quit our email session, log into the command
line on the server and manually delete the offending email. Either way,
it's a pain in the ass.

And for those of you who think I should just quit whining and get
something
newer.... you are more than welcome to pay off my student loans. :P
