I've actually been trying to send debugging files to the list all day
and keep running into problems. I access the list through gmane.org's
news server and that has a limitation on attachments. I tried zippping
the files but it still complained. I tried subscribing directly to the
email list but I'm having more problems there. It keeps trying to
unsubscribe me from a list I don't even subscribe to. Hopefully I'll be
able to send the files soon.
