  1. only text files are allowed w extension “.txt” to be obvious (if
    it’s a ruby program, you have to rename it [and examine it
    -it might
    contain a “delete all files command” ;-]).

Why not allow .rb files?

actually, I was just fishing for the xtreme (ly paranoid).

it’s a safety net for outlook users. the code runs automatically if you
double-click on it :slight_smile:

  1. maximum of 50kb per mail (in fact, if this were a ruby
    script, it’s
    terribly long and 99% of the members wouldn’t mind
    reading it -but
    they would sure mind the bandwidth! :slight_smile:

50kb is better than no limit, but I think everyone would
agree that attachments of this size should be web-hosted
instead. I see no need to allow posts larger than 20kb.

again, 50k is my extreme value.

I agree. In fact, 10k limit is fine for me, too.

[http://www.ruby-talk.org/60668] for instance is quite bigger than 10KB.
Even text-only messages might be longer than 20KB (and certainly more
than 10KB).
