From that notice it looks like the size limit of 40kb caught the message, not the attachment filter. You might want to try something with a smaller attachment. Probably it hits the size limit first and if it is over, it doesn't even look at the attachment. =) Patrick Wiggins wrote:

Cynthia,

I just sent a message with an attached picture. Looks like rather than block it it just put it to one side and will await your approval (see below).

FWIW, other list's I'm on send the text of a person's message right through but strip the attachments and puts a message at the bottom of the post reading "Non-text portion of message deleted."

Clear skies,

Patrick
