Oh please. I count a total of 9 post attachments from 2005 to 2011 on
the OOo user list that are over 1MB in size. If you had any multiples
it was due to some 'helpful' list person that responded with the
original attachment included. Example:
<http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.openoffice.questions/214256>

So find a better email/nntp client that allows you to download and
review only the headers + msg size prior to downloading.

In most cases I found/find OOo list attachments very helpful in
assisting the user.

Again, use an email/nntp client that can be configured to read
headers/size before downloading. If that doesn't work, then don't read
the list when you are in situations where you can't control the download.
