Actually, it's not book keeping, it's simple courtesy -- and not only on a BB: an attachment is lazy, and a large attachment is downright rude. I am routinely stuck with a slow connection (travelling), and others are *permanently* stuck with one. So please be nice... ;) phx. Anastassis P

Yes, we do discourage attachments. Links are better. This is a strong recommendation rather than a hanging offence (we are easy-going people). I've added a sentence to that effect at http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/ccp4bb.php Regards Martyn On Thu, 2008-01-31 at 08:58 +, Frank von Delft wrote: > Actual

On this note, some tools provide this kind of thing for a fairly small overhead. Google run picasa on the web which is a no brainer for putting pictures up on for discussion - this has the advantage that they can also be "hidden" or "public".

To answer a few specific points (some from private replies): 1. ccp4bb is now run by jiscmail i.e. not by us directly (basically because of the load), so we'd have to request any fancy scripting and I can't guarantee it would be done 2. Agree with David that we want to avoid a long-term commitmen
