I think the goal of the 40k limit is to keep people from posting 
binaries (pictures, file archives, etc) to the list. This goal should 
probably stay the same since Email is a textual medium and there are 
much better ways to get files to a large group of people. Has anyone 
ever run up against the 40k limit when not dealing with attachments?
