   To my knowledge there is no support for this in echo mail.   
      
   This is more likely due to echo policy that has been in force for 10+   
   years regarding echo areas in Fidonet.   
      
   That said a local echo area should not have that restriction BUT this   
   could cause various issues/problems for a sysop to control the size of   
   such attachment - What is to stop a user uploaading a TB of data   
   multiple times ?   
      
   The next issue is where such attachments go?   
      
   As it is users can subject to the correct permissions for a user   
   upload files to the inbound directory or even others using the URL   
   associated with the bbs.   
      
   This works as it is used on my system on a single permission basis but   
   all uploaded files still are vetted by myself before moving them into   
   areas available to all web / ftp & ssh users.   
      
   All this is down to the way the sysop has set up mbse and it's file   
   areas etc.
