Can the server be configured to reject attachments with the BMP
extension?

Or could the maximum file size be lowered? Is there such a limit right
now? How much is it?

I don't know off had without consulting with Mr. Cason about it.
Might be possible but likey not worth the hassle.

The following is based on some actual knowlege of the server while
other parts are educated guesses:
The server currently imposes a 1 meg limit on all messages. This number
could be adjusted on a group by group basis but I think at the moment
it is a global setting for all of the groups. If lowered it would likely
impact the binaries.animations group whose files sizes are generally
much larger than in this group.
I personally don't see a need for a change at the moment. I believe
that peer pressure works well and most people do not make the same
mistake once being informed of the problem.

If we're going to get fussy about it, how about also knocking out PNG's
and all animations other than MPG-1?

I assumed he was being ironic sans smileys - maybe not. BTW I assume you
mean jpg, not gif (gif isn't lossy, except in the sense of being only 256
colours - a gif opened and repeatedly re-saved doesn't degrade, a jpg
does*).

The closest thing to a problem I have with png is that Nescape doesn't
display a png file in the message window like it will with jpg. I have to
click on it and lose the message.

I think it actually has to load the Quicktime plug-in. And for me, I cannot
scroll up and down on an image which is larger than my small window, as was the
case with today's "Emoti-Pov". It all boils down to that Dilbert cartoon
where the girder has fallen on one employee's head and Catbert reminds him,
"Nobody else is complaining." It's just like the html issue.

Strange, here it shows it normally, as any jpg or gif.
It may be that
a) You have it wrongly configured
b) Netscape for Solaris is after all that different from Netscape for
Windows (or are you using Linux? Anyways). It wouldn't be the only difference.

I have no problem here (Netscape 4.75 for linux) and I had no problem
at school (Netscape 4.08 for Solaris)...
