Hi,

Does the mailing list support plaintext attachments?

Cheers,
Tom

No, it doesn't forward any attachments. People that you CC directly will
get the attachment, but the list will not reflect any attachments to
subscribers, nor will the list archive carry the attached files.

I suggest the following: if it is just a text file (log etc), simply
paste it into the email. (Does not apply to patches, of course.) For
binary files, I suggest (a) creating a zip file or a compressed tarball,
(b) putting that through "uuencode --base64", and (c) pasting the result
at the end of the email.

Thanks
Laszlo

As Laszlo mentioned, sadly, no.

Please know that we are working to address this issue. We are currently 
evaluating Groups.io which, so far, has proven a feature-rich 
replacement for the 01.org mailing list.

I'll be sending out an invite soon to our February community meeting 
where we will discuss this further.

Cheers,
Stephano
