attachments and digest mode

[Flaming Hakama by Elaine]

I certainly have my preferences about mailing list etiquette (text-only, bottom-posting, code examples inline, publish images on an external web site and include inline links to the images.)

However, I realize that these are only personal preferences and should have no real effect on the discussion, and even less on the course of the actual mailing list rules or guidelines.

I will note, however, that the suggestions about using images or attachments don't seem to work with the list in digest mode.

Choosing an example from the latest digest, the attachment link yeilds a 404 error.

Is that intentional, that attachments are neither included in the digest, nor are they available through links?

(Are you ready for some top posting, doubled down with formatted text inserted thanks to the default use of copying from a web page and pasting into gmail?)

Here is the result of clicking on an attachment link from the digest:

And here is the message that has the attachment as link:

As Matthew said, you will need to override how the chord name is
displayed, but this (or Matthew's suggestion) at least constructs a
chord with the right notes.

(If "scrubbed" means "removed without a trace", then I understand it grammatically.  But in that case, why include a link?)

Thanks,
