<p>I'm on way too many mailing lists. I stay on them for that once-in-a-while gig. A couple of them bug the hell out of me because people are often attaching audio and video files that are useless and take up a lot of space.</p>
<p>I hope to finish a program soon that serves as an email filter. When an email arrives at a list, the program analyses the email. It could, at this point, have a black-list/white-list filtering set up. No problem.</p>
<p>The program detects if there is an attachment exceeding a pre-defined limit. If so, it strips the attachment out and stores it on the server of the mailing list (other storage options can be looked at later). A link to the media file will be added to the message. The link will indicate the name of the attachment, its type, its size, and whatever else. I guess I can have the attachment virus-scanned before storing too. Compressed as well, if desired. I'm not a fan of the later for quality reasons.</p>
<p>All messages will be archived. Later, there will be a sort of browser to look/search through past messages and sent attachments.</p>
<p>Anyway, I'd like to try to make some money with this. May I propose a parallel list for you to subscribe to, to exchange the same ideas as we do here, but I want you to be the worst of list mates. Send that 25 minute clip of Bechet playing Hendrix. I want to try to make an asshole proof mailing list manager.</p>
<p>I doubt that I will be online before the end of the year. How 'bout it? Up to being my guinea pigs?</p>
<p>All the best, Gary</p>

It's infinitely better for verbal discussions, and when someone posts something, you get it directly, without having to (in my case-not on a cell phone) go to the phone, see it on a small screen etc.</span></p>

<p class="v1MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">I'm unable to offer any help. Happily I'm better with the trombone than with a computer! So good, however, to see again some of the old names on our out of date but beloved mailing list. Hopefully someone will help Dave back on line, although there is little action here. Years ago we lost our last prolific poster, Marek, who used to like to stir things up a bit. Lovely man, and an even lovelier wife. My wife and I met them both when they visited us here in Madrid. He seemed to enjoy a gig of my band while here, although we were a long way from his more traditional likings! </p>
