There's really no justification for attaching *any* file to a post. Posts should be clear and concise. If there's really some value to providing an image, a hyperlink should be provided. I'd argue against any attempt to work around the intent of the posting guide, regardless of the alleged format of the attachment (remember, folks, if posting a "file.pdf" is allowed, you could rename your "junk.zip" to "junk.pdf") -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/May-I-send-a-zip-attachment-to-a-post-tp4678742p4678782.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
