So, bug #14137 was just filed and due to the lack of ability to attach
files via the bug form the body of said message is inordinately long.

Emails sent directly to the lists can have attachments so its not like we
are prohibiting them as a general rule - though maybe the behavior is
different on -bugs...

Without testing I presume that the user filling in the bug report is
emailed the message that they send - or at least it could be made to work
that way.

In lieu of (or in addition) to adding a file upload capability it would be
nice to limit the general initial message size and inform the user that
should they need to amend their posting, to include files or additional
details, they can do so as a reply to their original message.

I haven't given it too much thought but a couple recent incidents of
super-verbose message bodies provoked me to at least voice my thoughts.
