Mark, thanks for the prompt reply.
Most of the posts on one of the mailinglists, dedicated to astrophotography, have large pictures attached. It would be good to offload these from the database to a bigger HDD for space constraints (DB is running on SSD). I rather like to keep the occasional 'regular' attachments posted on the other mailinglists in the DB.
Best regards, Eric

Hyperkitty provides the possibility to store attachments on the disk by the config parameter HYPERKITTY_ATTACHMENT_FOLDER.
Is it possible to export attachments to disk if they are stored in the DB, and have them linked into the archived mail?
Yes, django-admin attachments_to_file does that. Note that depending on
your installation the django-admin command might be named mailmanweb or
manage.py or something else.
Is it possible to decide per mailinglist if attachments should be stored in DB or on disk?
No.
If not, I would like to request this feature.
Can you explain your use case that makes this desirable? It seems to me that storing attachments in the DB or in the file system is a system administrative decision, and normally at least, attachments are only available to end users via the HyperKitty UI regardless of where they are stored.
