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. |
Great  . I missed this one while digging through documentation.
Maybe you could consider setting as default:Email format = 111
Cheers,

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 
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. |

Of course you're right. I suggested using "111" because then in email notification there is a link to the attachment.
Which for me is enough . But there always will be someone that's not happy.
Your solution is nice but then attachments will be sent in a bit inconsistent way.
Easier would be to make it more obvious in the documentation.
I don't know put it in the FAQ or something (under: "Why my posts with large attachments are submitted so slowly"  ).
Best Regards,
Konrad

Thanks for implementing ELCode for tables - love them  |

Have you tried tables in HTML form? Even better! Just switch the encoding from ELCode to HTML (starting from version 2.7.0). |
Quick filter - Subtext, posted by An Thai on Mon Nov 19 14:11:33 2007 
|
The default subtext "-- Text --" for quick filter is included when another attribute is selected. So that the searched category always shows 0 entrie
I cannot find this problem on your demo forum, but it is happening on my server.
My config:
Quick filter = Author, Category, SubText
Result: Please see the screenshot attached. |

It's fixed already, that's why you cannot see it on the demo server. So just download elog270-2.exe and install it. |

Hi,
I put in the option:
Email Format = 111
Attachment still comes in to the notification instead of the link. I am using elog-2.7.0-1. Any ideas? Thank you.

You will see the attachment name in the notification (see below), but the actual attachment is not contained in the email, thus making it very small. |
