I am working on a method that will strip the attachments and replace them with a URL link to the same on the Matronics website. This should greatly reduce the bandwidth requirements, yet still enabled everyone including the Digest and List Browser users to enjoy the attachments. Coming soon...

No way to truly test it, though, so we'll just have to keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best. Just so you know that I was thinking about you and your inbox... :-) Matt Dralle Matronics Email List Administrator
