Since archiving is off, these attachments are being scrubbed and stored
either from all messages if the list's scrub_nondigest is Yes, or from
the plain text format digest.

The options available are:

- Use content filtering to remove the attachments before messages are
sent, or

- Do not scrub_nondigest, set digestable to No and change any current
digest subscribers to regular, or

- Set up a cron to go through archives/private/*/attachments/ and
delete any directories older than x.
