Majordomo, the mailing software used at smoe.org, doesn't allow any binary postings. It's usually in bad taste to send a binary to a whole mailing list for multiple reasons: 1) Some email systems have quotas on how much mail a person can receive. (I fall under this plan) 2) Not everyone wishes to wait how many seconds or minutes to download a whole picture. Some just wish to pick up their mail and go, not wait for a full download. If you wish to post a binary later, please send a regular message to the list telling everyone what you have. After that, email the picture to them individually. Sorry to take the authorian approach to this, I'm just in a really really bad mood. Your list op, Tuan ------------------------------ End of apple-tree-digest V2 #22 *******************************
