Forum attachments going out over the mailing list [message #23900]

I prefer not to allow attachments on the mailing lists assigned to the various forums. If an attachment is posted on the forum, the demime add-on to majordomo will strip it when the message goes out over the mailing list(s).

Is there any way for the forum to send a link to the attachment as part of the message that goes out over the mailing list instead of the attachment itself?

There is no such option.

You can however modify the attachment handling functionality by editing the mail_list_post() function inside mlist_post.inc

I don't find "mail_list_post" in the mlist_post.inc document. I do find a line (30) with "allow_mlist_attch". If I deleted that entry, would attachments not go out over the mailing lists?

Thanks.

Oops, I was looking at m_list.inc.

Under "function mail_list_post", I have "$attch=null, $attach_mime=null,". What are the options here?

Thanks again.

Inside the function there is a conditional expression that says:
if (is_array($attch)) {

simply make it always fail and attachments will never be put into the e-mail.

Well, when the new FUD system goes "live", I'll try allowing attachments on the mailing list and see if there are any problems.
Thanks.

How do you make it always fail?
