[Mailman-Developers] feature suggestion: attachment mirroring

I think a nice feature would be for mailman to mirror
large attachments (configurable size) on a website,
and then replace the attachment with a link to the
mirror, instead of sending it to everybody or
rejecting the message.

Example:

stdarg@yahoo.com sends a small message (patch
description) and a large attachment (actual patch) to
eggdev@eggheads.org

mailman sees that the attachment is over 20kb (or
whatever), so it saves the attachment locally in a
public html directory.

mailman sends the mail out to the list, but replaces
the large attachment with a link like
http://archive.eggheads.org/attachments/998207905/my_attachment_name.patch

thanks :)
