Mind if I step in for a moment? Before you all make yourselves too crazy
trying to figure out how a message I didn't send got posted, allow me to
explain.
I did indeed post the "first" message--with the attachment--to the DJML, and
got the following response:
Your mail to 'Dixielandjazz' with the subject
Levinson's Eleven Sons of Rosy
Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval.
The reason it is being held:
Message body is too big: 3452300 bytes but there's a limit of 100 KB
Either the message will get posted to the list, or you will receive
notification of the moderator's decision.
Well, I didn't see it posted to the list after a day, so I rewrote it without
the attachment, and it was posted immediately.
Believe me, if I had any idea that a message with an attachment would cause
such an uproar, I never would have posted it. I have high speed internet
service, and it uploaded in a few seconds. I also have a plan which doesn't
charge me by the minute, so I don't think about how much I am paying when I'm
online a long time.
And lastly, when I begin downloading an attachment, my computer gives me an
approximation of how long the download is going to take.
All of these factors have made sending and receiving attachments a
stress-free process, providing, of course, that I know they are legit and do
not contain a virus.
To all of you who felt you had to sit and wait for the cursed thing to
download, I am deeply sorry. I indicated in the body of the email that the
attachment more or less duplicated the information I provided in my message.
I certainly never meant to make so many people angry at me. Wow. I seem to
have found a quick way to make enemies. Please accept my apology, and trust
that I will never, NEVER post a message with an attachment to the DJML again.
Thanks to those of you who spoke up in my defense.
Apparently the road to Hell is paved with attachments.
