RE: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Server Test 34

[Suhaib Siddiqi <ssiddiqi at inspirepharm dot com>]

Francis and all the users of the list,

May I suggest please send binary attachments, screen shots, and log files
etc directly to person who requested it. Some people (actually many on this
list) do not like receiving attachments unless they ask.  Just a friendly
reminder before someone yells ;-)

Thanks
Suhaib
