None of the people lamenting these rare attachments have claimed that they are on slow or expensive connections.
No, but apparently you glossed over or ignored what I consider major points of my previous post, which are: 1-the overall load large attachments put on the email system (and the whole internet) generally, not on specific subscribers on slow or metered connections 2-the fact that every (non-kmail) subscriber has to download individual mails of a size equal in class to the unwanted large size of typical spam One of the reasons anyone subscribes to help lists like this is to avoid places like forums, where bandwidth demand is high by design. Then too, some admins simply have no grasp or concern for basic conservation or economic concepts. Things on this planet have been getting scarce for quite some time. That includes raw materials required to support the internet backbone, and energy sources that keeping it alive requires. -- "He who works his land will have abundant food, but the one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty."
