config option to limit nosy attachments based on size reworking of patch [SF#772323] from Philipp Gortan It tries to avoid reading the file contents just to get the file size but that was too hard for metakit backends. They don't inherit from blobfiles.FileStorage which makes it more challenging. Really that backend should be reworked to inherit from FileStorage. I'm not sure I like the default being sys.maxint. Maybe have 0 == unlimited? But what if someone really wanted to set it to 0 to mean "don't attach anything"?

def eml_to_mht(db, cl, nodeid, newvalues):
    '''This auditor fires whenever a new file entity is created.

    If the file is of type message/rfc822, we tack onthe extension .eml.

    The reason for this is that Microsoft Internet Explorer will not open
    things with a .eml attachment, as they deem it 'unsafe'. Worse yet,
    they'll just give you an incomprehensible error message. For more 
    information, please see:

    Their suggested work around is (excerpt):

     WORKAROUND

     To work around this behavior, rename the .EML file that the URL
     links to so that it has a .MHT file name extension, and then update
     the URL to reflect the change to the file name. To do this:

     1. In Windows Explorer, locate and then select the .EML file that
        the URL links.
     2. Right-click the .EML file, and then click Rename.
     3. Change the file name so that the .EML file uses a .MHT file name
        extension, and then press ENTER.
     4. Updated the URL that links to the file to reflect the new file
        name extension.

    So... we do that. :)'''
