So, bug #14137 was just filed and due to the lack of ability to attach files via the bug form the body of said message is inordinately long.
Emails sent directly to the lists can have attachments so its not like we are prohibiting them as a general rule - though maybe the behavior is different on -bugs...
Without testing I presume that the user filling in the bug report is emailed the message that they send - or at least it could be made to work that way.
In lieu of (or in addition) to adding a file upload capability it would be nice to limit the general initial message size and inform the user that should they need to amend their posting, to include files or additional details, they can do so as a reply to their original message.
I haven't given it too much thought but a couple recent incidents of super-verbose message bodies provoked me to at least voice my thoughts.
