What would be really useful is if everyone would start using our bugzilla ( http://bugzilla.sistina.com ) to file their bug reports. That way, not only would the list not get flooded with large attachments, but we would be able to more easily identify the bug reports. Regardless of how you submit your bugs, when you have attachments > 30-50k, you really should tar and gzip (or bzip) them to reduce download times and network traffic.
