The list has a cap at 300k for a reason. Sending larger attachments<br>
to the list then multiplies out to gigabytes of network data when<br>
counting the number of subscribers, even though many of those<br>
subscribers are not actively participating in the thread. Sending a<br>
URL to an image hosted externally uses much less bandwidth. Also, if<br>
the problem is something that happens in a terminal window, it is less<br>
bandwidth-intensive to just copy/paste the contents of the terminal<br>
(as text) instead of attaching a screenshot to your email, and no less<br>
informative.<br>
<br>
You may also try IRC; there, you can probably get faster turnaround<br>
times than waiting for emails to bounce back and forth.<br>

although at the end of the day, email is more persistent and reaches a<br>
larger audience whereas IRC only reaches whoever is online at the time.<br>
