This is mostly for Frank, but may interest others.

Thanks for your prompt and full response. My first request is that you do
NOT distribute the posting with 3.1 MB of attachments that I sent, twice,
yesterday. A recent posting from Paul Jackson has made some of it
irrelevant, and anyway, I can reduce the attachment without too much
hassle. I will send an amended version, today.

I fully agree there has to be a limit on the size of attachments, and 3
megabytes seems a very reasonable setting.

You wrote- "You should not worry about a missing message unless at least
six hours have elapsed and probably twelve." That's what I did; resent
after 6, inquired after 12. If such messages are put into a bin, waiting to
be dealt with "by hand", then it's unreasonable to expect anything more
prompt, and no doubt sometimes the delay may be much longer. In which case,
whenever such a message is automatically diverted into that bin, is there
any way for an automatic acknowledgment to go back to the sender? To say
something like "Yes, we've received your message, it will be considered and
may be rejected, but do not resend it" Because resending is in nobody's
interest, if it's been received..

George.
