We have tried to expunge the message from the mail system before it got
sent to everyone. Indeed, I haven't even received it myself, and now I
never will.
Juul, I will e-mail you privately about potentiall getting the file to Red
Hat so we can make it available for FTP if you like. In the meantime, you
may want to e-mail to the list the text of your message, without the
attachment.

10Kb seems a bit low. But even the list maintainers thought there was some
limit. It seems it was missed as an oversight, and is obviously going to be
corrected.
