I prefer how the R mailing list works: No attachments of any kind and no HTML messages allowed. Just plain text email. If someone needs to supply something too large for a single email, they must put it on a Web site (such as GitHub, for example) and then include a URL for that. That is: (1) much safer for all; (2) saves bandwidth for uninterested users; (3) save space on the various archives. Yes, this is very "retro" of me. And only a personal opinion, not a commandment from on high.

A police officer pulls him over. The officer says, "Excuse me, sir, do you know how fast you were going?" "No," replies Dr. Heisenberg, "but I know where I am." Computer Science is the only discipline in which we view adding a new wing to a building as being maintenance -- Jim Horning Schrodinger's backup: The condition of any backup is unknown until a restore is attempted. He's about as useful as a wax frying pan. Maranatha! <>< John McKown
