Since there's no way to pick one choice which will make most people happy (whichever one is picked, the proponents of the other will be unhappy), maybe we should try and avoid making a choice? We could have two different back-end distributions versions of the list: one which strips attachments, and one which doesn't (both fed from the same input name). Then, people can sign up for whichever one they prefer. ("All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection", etc, etc.) Noel
