Well, as I am subscribed to quite a number of mailing
lists, and thereby
already have almost no time to work on my PhD, and didn't expect that
short attachments (I kept mine under 3kB) get stripped, I dared to send my
message to you.
You might be interested in a relatively new service called Gmane (
gmane.org)
which is a free gateway for turning mailing lists into news groups (or rss).
You can then follow your favorite mailing lists using a standard news reader
or rss reader. The wikipedia/mediawiki lists all seem to be subscribed
(although perhaps gmane links should be included here if it is the prefered
way to subscribe)
news://news.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.technical
http://rss.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.mediawiki
This might be more convinient for you than subscribing and unscibscribing
from lists to follow a thread.
As I think that the attachment really is worth to be
sent to this list,
and also is much shorter than the regular flame-bait, I resend it to this
list, hoping that it will eventually find it's way into the extensions/
CVS repository.
In today's day and age, attachments are trouble regardless of the size.
Putting your work up on a web site and linking to it would be preferable to
sending an attachment.
This reminds me of something that the Plone community uses for collaborative
debugging -
http://paste.plone.org/
Is there anyplace on the meta wiki that could serve a similar function?
This is handy when referring to code on irc, or when talking about snippets
of code that would disrupt the conversation.
