Sorry chum, Freelists.org only produces plain text mail and will not pass
an attachment, thank the stars, or any other so-called "Rich Content". Any
live hyperlinking is a characteristic of your email program detecting URLs
and is not to be considered the same as a piece of email formatted in
HTML. They's different beasts.
And, throwing away my traditional veil of patience, you're really going to
have to stretch that point since so many others already replied to your
previous posts indiciating they don't share your experience with those
messages. In other words, You're barking up the wrong tree there.
Now, what files are you seeing growing like that? If the system is still
usable and it's the message store files that OE uses, I suggest you start
by looking at some of the free message store repair tools out there for
OE. Beyond that, I must back away from further discussion of the matter
since we've repeatedly heard that OE is off-topic in this group. My
attempts to help were in an effort to mitigate some perceived problem with
a couple messages sent to this group and not to have to heat up in the
face of ignorance presented with an accusatory finger.
