I don't like this proposal for two reasons: I frequently read email

It might be okay for really large attachments, as long as only a few
messages are affected.

Borrowing a bit from Randy, the solution to really large attachments is
to ban them.

I support the ban of attachments in IETF emails.

On the other hand, one feature that would be very useful is to add in the
email footer a link to the archive in each email forwarded by mailman (mailman
does not support that currently), so referencing a past email in a discussion
does not require having to search the archive.  For example the previous email
should contain a link for
https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg72476.html.
