Maybe you could consider setting as default:
Email format = 111


Well, then people will come up and ask: I can see some attachment name in my email, but the attachment is missing, what can I do?. So they would not find the configuration option as you did not, and complain here. You never can make everybody happy Frown

An alternative approach however would be to limit the attachment size. If above 1 MB for example, do not send it. Then make this a flexible parameter (maybe someone wants 2 MB). I will think about that.

There is such an option:
Email format = 47

This tells elog to send email notifications without attachments. Anyhow I would not recommend to send big attachments as emails, since most email systems won't allow you that. Since the attachments are base64 encoded, the encoding can also take quite a long time.

Hi,

Ok,

I noticed that the email notification got two copies of the attached files to elog post. It looks like the cause is
between elog and the mail server. When there is email notification, the attachement is sent along to the mail server and that's taking a long time and there are two copies of the attachment.

Hi,

I did more testing..if I suppress email notification, it is fast. There is something wrong there.



Indeed I can confirm that without email notification it's blazing fast. I haven't observed attachments being send twice. Though I got two indentical entries in the elog.

On my box I'm using sendmail. Until there is some fix in the way elog comunicates with mailer (if it is possible that is) could we have an option to suppress sending attachments in email notification?

Best Regards,
Konrad

Hi,

I am having the same problem with 2.6.4.1 and the latest version. It just hangs and taking a long time to upload multiple of 1.5 to 2 MB attachments...or just one few MB attachment. Hope that's a fix soon.

  65638   Fri Oct 26 14:00:48 2007 Idea Stefan Rittstefan.ritt@psi.chInfoAll2.7.0New ELOG version with HTML Editor

I'm pleased to announce the release of ELOG version 2.7.0 which contains the HTML editor FCKeditor. This allows the formatting of ELOG entries just as one is used from a word processor. I tried to make all functionality working as one is used from the ELCode system (like replies quote the original text in a yellow text box), but I'm not sure if I covered everything. So if you experience problems with the new editor, please report it and I will try to fix it. Anyhow it is always possible to switch back to the old ELCode encoding.

One warning for site administrators: Since it is possible to enter HTML code directly into a web page, one risks a XSS vulnerability. If someone knows how to protect the FCKeditor against submission of JavaScript, please let me know and I will add it. If this is an issue, you can turn off HTML encoding completely for public ELOG sites with allowed encoding = 3 in elogd.cfg.

Finally I would like to give credits to An Thai who proposed this editor.
