[Biojava-l] please don't send attachments to the biojava-lists

Hi,

We just had a couple of emails coming through to the biojava-l list that
were sent months ago. This can happen if

* emails are being sent from an address, that is not subscribed to the
mailing list
* the email contains an attachment.

To avoid spam email, all incoming messages that meet any of these criteria
are being filtered out by the mail server and put on hold. Going through
this list is no fun for the admins, because of the large nr of spam mails.

In short, please don't mail attachments to the list. If you want to share a
patch, upload it to bugzilla or send it directly to one of the developers,
so they can svn commit it. If you notice that your message is on hold (there
is a notification from the mail server about that) please re-send your mail
without attachment.

Thanks,
Andreas
