That sounds reasonable.  As I mentioned briefly in another reply, I'll 
explain further so it is easier to understand.  I searched for a error 
message a long time ago.  I found a exact match to my error.  It was on 
a paste bin type site.  I never did find where the problem was actually 
discussed.  It was frustrating to find the error but unable to find 
where it was discussed to see if there was a solution.

I do get that some mailing lists don't want or allow large attachments 
tho.  Every mailing list is different.  I still recall when I first 
joined this mailing list.  They helped me set it up so that my emails 
were plain text.  That was a long time ago.  Most still prefer plain 
text but most mail clients can now filter it so it isn't as big a deal 
if I understand it correctly.

Keeping things in one place is the best way to me.  Otherwise, you may 
not know where to look for the rest of the discussion.
