[Mailman-Users] buildup of "attachment" files...

[Troy Campbell]

Thanks Mark,

The list's Non-digest options -> scrub-nondigest is No.

In the Content Filtering ->"Details for pass_mime_types" field
I show the following:

multipart/mixed
multipart/alternative
text/plain

Would that be sufficient to do what you are suggesting if I
turn "Edit filter_content" on? 

Could I then remove the "attachments" subdirectories?

Regards,
Troy
