Not everybody can.  Not everybody has access to such a system, wants to
use a system, or has a client that will leave attachments on the server.

Large emails, for whatever reason (HTML and crap, attachments, etc.), do
waste a lot of bandwidth and storage space.  On servers that pass the
message along its way, and on those that store the messages.  And, the
more recipients, the more bandwidth.

Seems to be based on filesize.  It seems that above some threshold, you
get silently moderated.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
