[Olympus] Attachments on the messages to the olympus mailing list

[Douglas Kenneth Hasell]

Since two people have already asked me this.

When you mail attachments to the mailing list; the mailing list  
application "scrubs" the attachment meaning: it removes the  
attachment, stores it on the web server, and inserts the URL into the  
message.

This saves sending large files to everyone on the mailing list using  
up bandwidth.  Those who want to view the document can follow the  
link, read it on their browser, and/or, if they wish, download it to  
their computer.  However, the attachment is permanently stored on the  
web server so you don't have to keep a copy on your own computer and  
you can follow the link whenever you like to view the attachments.

This is one of the benefits of using the mailing list.  Not only are  
the messages saved on the server but so are the attachments.

                                                                                 Cheers
