Hi,
let me throw my hat in the ring ;)

Of course, nearly ervery MUA can be enabled to filter large mails. I do
that, too. But I didn=B4t calculate that someone is blackouted enough to
hit the _all_ other members in a tech-oriented mailing list with an 1.5
MB attachment. I don=B4t hope that this list is going to be spammed with
more of that stuff.
There is an easy workaround: Start a Yahoo group and load up all
interesting or not-so interesting thingies there. Then put a link to
this group and everyone is happy.=20
