Thanks Martin.<br>
<br>
I just raised the limit to 512 kb. Let's see if that is enough for
PNG screenshots. I think it should be.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

<div>Hi all,<br>
<br>
I just caught up on the thread about communications, so here's a
reply to several things that were said:<br>
<br>
* Yes, I am the admin of Commonhouse.net, the server that hosts
the Cuis list. I don't administer the list itself, Juan does
that. Thanks for mentioning me, Hernan -- I'm glad to provide
service to the Smalltalk community. It is not entirely free, the
server keeps running through donations, but the suggested
donation amounts are very low because our costs are low and the
labor is free. For those that are curious, Commonhouse has been
running since 1998. We've out-lived most other free or low-cost
services, and we aren't going away anytime soon.<br>
<br>
* We don't put disk quotas on our users. Some use a little, some
use a lot. Cuis could use more with no complaint from me.<br>
<br>
* I don't know how other people's phones' email clients work,
but my phone does not download the entire email if it has image
attachments. It shows me the text and a button to download the
image if I want to see it.<br>
<br>
* Screen shots are generally pretty small. PNGs compress well,
and you can get a lot in less than 1MB. That used to be a lot,
but in today's world that is pretty small.<br>
<br>
* Though it's a decision for the Cuis community to make, I
personally am in favor of mailing lists over web forums and am
in favor of allowing screen shots to be emailed through the list
as part of the messages, because sometimes a screen shot or two
is the best way to communicate something. Probably not videos,
though. :-)<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>

<div>With the recent thread on the use of this mailing list
as a communication medium, I was wondering if GitHub
Discussions had been considered, in order to take
advantage of the benefits it brings, namely threaded
discussion, easy media inclusion in posts, searchability,
conversion to GitHub issues, free hosting, etc. The venue
can support email posting, as described here, <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/microsoft/ebpf-for-windows/discussions/399">https://github.com/microsoft/ebpf-for-windows/discussions/399</a>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Seeing that the Cuis project already uses GitHub to a
great degree, IMO it would make sense to use the
discussions part of the service as well.</div>
