Options to get the txt file attachemnent into the > proper record? gentoo-user is a mailing list. It receives mail to the list address and forwards them on to all subscribers. It's all done by mail. Now someone has built an email<->web_thingy gateway. It is deficient by design and as you point out doesn't do big posts AT ALL. That's too bad, but you chose that option and now you must deal with it's deficiencies and shortcomings. Sorry for the tone but that really is how it is. > > Gmane refuses to post long replies.
