I understand and agree, but what I've seen is that they DO attach the images to the e-mail and then reference an image via a relative (broken) http link.. instead of referencing the attached image. In any case, getting them to reference the attached images properly or use full URLs to external images so the unsafe_umage_rules plugin will display the intended image is still a problem. One nice thing about Cyrus is the single instance message store, so if someone does send a 2MB image, at least we only store it once on our mailstore! Thankfully the groups here that are sending HTML e-mail do resize the images so that they are generally less than 20k per image. -- Chris Winterrowd Unix E-mail Administrator Texas Instruments Inc. ch...@ti... > mailing lists use external images because they don't want to send big > emails and saturate internet link in one big hump.
