There are plenty of explanations on the web about the disadvantages of inline images. Myself, I don't filter them, but I read emails as text, which amounts to the same thing. > On the other hand, for me who gets the lilypond-user messages in the Digest > form, attachments suck big time.

Agreed, there is a problem. The links are set wrongly, yet the attachments exist elsewhere. For example, the attachment given in the digest as http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/attachments/20160312/6eba7c13/attachment.png is actually at http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2016-03/pngHJxj6irVRF.png > That’s not very convenient at all.

Yes; maybe they will. Cheers, David. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
