Please don't ever send 9 megabytes of screenshots and sample files to a
mailing list (actually, I was a bit surprised that your images were
relatively small compared to the bulk of your log files, although it
would still have been a better use of bandwidth to just paste the text
from your window rather than capturing screenshots). You caused a lot of
unnecessary load on the mail server as it multiplied your message out to
every list recipient. Ideally, you should have minimized your problem
down to much smaller files - although the nature of the reported problem
in diff'ing large files may have indeed required the full log files to
reproduce (where trimming things would have made the problem disappear);
but even then, hosting your files externally and merely posting a URL in
the mail is more considerate when you would otherwise be sending more
than 100k to the list.
