Attachments

Dave Wade All Messages By This Member #3698 Folks, I have disabled attachments as GMAIL seems to block anything any one attaches. If you want to distribute files please use the files section on the groups.io web site. Create a folder and store the files in it. There is also a photos section for your pictures. Thanks, Dave G4UGM

Only certain types of attachments: Yes, I admit that, as a software developer, Gmail not allowing one to attach certain file types can certainly be incredibly annoying, but the point is, it certainly does not block ALL attachments. Just some. Besides that, not everyone USES gmail either. Those who do not use gmail certainly wouldn't be blocked. Members should be allowed to attach certain harmless types of files IMHO, such as screen shots and .txt files containing JCL or log files, etc (or in my case, .patch/.diff file). But to broadly disallow ANY/ALL attachments for EVERYONE -- even those who don't use gmail -- is ridiculous IMHO. That's extreme overkill IMHO. There used to be an option in a Groups.IO group's administrative Settings that an administrator could set to automatically strip attachments from all messages and replace them with a clickable link instead, but they must have changed things recently because I don't see that option anymore. It does however still have a setting that ALLOWS attachments, and I for one would like to respectfully request that you please reconsider your decision regarding allowing attachments. If you want to distribute files please use the files section on the groups.io web site. Create a folder and store the files in it. There is also a photos section for your pictures. The file I want to attach is a small .patch file (a TEXT file) and is not (IMO) appropriate for uploading to the files area. It's not meant to be a permanent redistributable. Yes, I could "inline" it in my message, but due to the way email clients format messages (including Groups.IO itself), there's no guarantee the patch would be formatted properly. Attaching it in this case is the (IMO) correct way for dealing with such things. Respectfully, -- "Fish" (David B. Trout) Software Development Laboratories mail: fish@...
