I know. My wife Martha is the list owner for Missbirds. She is always worried about attachments clogging peoples mailboxes. To her, 600 kb is a large file. I try to keep my files around 600-900 kb, but I understand that freelists can handle files up to 3Mb. But that large of a file would clog many peoples mailbox. However, the raw file of the Bittern is around 11.2Mb, far more than listserve.org could handle. When I figure drop box out, I will post the Bittern raw NEF file.
