Reminder -- Don't post big attachments

If you need to post a big file to illustrate an issue or respond to
someone's request for data, don't attach it to your email.  Instead,
to paste a text file visit http://paste.fedoraproject.org/ -- or post
a link to the image.

If you're running a command, you can pipe it through `fpaste`, which
is part of the standard Fedora installation.  The `fpaste` utility
generates a URL for the text file at the command line, without using
your browser.  For example:

  $ cat /proc/meminfo | fpaste
  Uploading (1.4KiB)...
  http://ur1.ca/gwbws -> http://paste.fedoraproject.org/87556/95437854

Note these URLs are publicly facing, so you may want to avoid putting
sensitive information in a paste.

The mailing list won't let oversized messages through, so the above
information helps you get answers faster.  Thanks and have a great
day!
