The e-mail I sent had an attachment. The e-mail has not showed up on the mailing list archive [0]. * Are attachments allowed? The policies [1] say that attachments for large messages are allowed. Are they not allowed for smaller messages? * I subscribed to the mailing list after sending my e-mail with the attachment. Are attachments only allowed for subscribers? The spam blocking section [1] says subscribers will not be subject to any kind of spam blocking. * If attachments are not allowed, can someone let me know what is the best practice for including test cases that are not yet part of the testing suite? I have a small program written in a folder (outside of gcc) that I use to test a new transformation I am working on. Should I just include these test cases as part of the patch? * I previously had some difficulties with how my e-mail client was rendering messages I sent to the mailing list [2][3]. Does anyone have any recommendations on e-mail clients / techniques to ensure that the way I type messages on my client is the way the messages will be displayed on the mailing list? (For example, I am currently using Thunderbird writing text only messages and Thunderbird wraps lines at ~70 characters. I am currently unaware if this message will have lines with more than 70 characters or if newlines will be inserted by my client). This makes my patches look like they are not formatted correctly (and possibly become poorly formatted). Thanks!
