Hi, sorry, the mailing list software sets a configurable limit on the size
of each message. Beyond this limit, the message needs manual confirmation
by the mailing list administrator (which is me...) before it will be delivered.
You (the sender of the message) were supposed to get back a mail saying this -
that your mail has been detained because of its size.

The message size limit is currently set at 60,000 bytes, which should be
more than enough for any text messages, but is obviously not enough for
images. I guess my father's original intention was to discourage
attaching large images to messages, as links could be posted instead.
Large images could annoy people with slow connections (remember 56Kbps
modems?) and small mail quotas (remember hotmail's 2 MB quota, just 8
years ago?). These issues are no longer as serious on today's Internet,
but it's also not hard to post links to images - so I'd appreciate some
comments from the members - would you like me to increase this 60,000
byte limit? Increase it to what? I assume people still won't appreciate
getting sent a 50 MB video clip from he mailing list...

In any case, I just manually accepted now your original message (the first
one), and it will be delivered as usual to everyone, with its attached image.
I assume no need to pass through also your second post, with (presumably?)
the same image?

Let me know if you have any other problems with the mailing list.

Nadav.
