Sorry if this is not a new ideea.

We have some internal lists.  Users have the (bad) habbit of sending 
large attached files on these lists.

What I'd like mailman to be able to do is to automatically take those 
attachments out of the posts, storing them to a directory I specify, and 
replace them with links to the stored files.

Like this:

"The file attached to this message can be found here
http://bla-blaserver.net/attach/grossely_large_and_stupid_presentation.ppt"

Configuring a http (or ftp) server to publish those attachments would be 
the job of the admin.

Thank you.  Please CC to me the eventual replies.
