Jim,
We are a higher ed site and use action_replace_with_url for attachments
larger than 4 megs. The biggest rationale for doing so was when students
or faculty would mail a 30meg pdf/ppt to all 50 students in the class.
Disk goes pretty fast like that. We didn't have any real arguments
against. We keep the attachments online for 30 days.
The only complaint is that we don't preserve the original filename. I'm
sure this could be done in MD, just haven't had time to code a patch for
it. :)
