Re: Welcome to [email protected]

Ok, I checked; the message was dropped because it was bigger than our size
limit. We limit inbound message size for a variety of reasons; one is
historically attachment heavy archives consume a lot of resources and -
statistically speaking - are much more likely to be spammy.  (There were
some horrific abuse cases involving YahooGroups around the turn of the
century).

Unfortunately your message was collateral damage, which I regret and
apologize for. In addition the FAQ entry is poorly worded and misleading, so
I will update it.

Bottom line - mystery solved but problem still exists. I am not inclined to
open up floodgates on attachments or large mails for the archiving service
at this point, but am willing to listen to feedback.
