So I think this current poll is flawed.  It has no option for allowing
attachments only for NECESSARY purpose - limited by senders' sensibility.
Or allowing requesting attachments via another form (eg webpost, alternate
list, etc. I don't know what other technical means might be sensibly used?)
Too much to ask?  Or shouldn't I ask?

Kind Regards,
wayne.
