> Most of my work colleagues don't do it, usually when they send files to group chats.

How does sending files to group chat actually works? And do we support it?

> Moreover someone might tell you "I'll send you 10 images", and send them one by one, I don't want to accept 10 file transfers...

I'd tell them to pack it up first. But seriously, is it worth enabling this for
all the users for all the time (until you turn it off, obviously) over one time
clicking ten buttons? And if that persons keeps doing it, (s)he should really
pack it up ;)

> Then you should reject all emails containing attachments as well

That's why I'm using webmail ;)

> G+ is really broken then... I would be more worried about automatically added contacts rather than about a file saved on my hard drive.

Can't really argue with that. OTOH it's only people you either mail with quite
often or you add them to your circles and they add you back (or the other way
around). This still doesn't rule out the possibility of hijacking an account
though.

>More or less like when you receive an email with a virus, except that through email anyone can send it, while it must be in your contact list to send it through telepathy.

Good point.

> I don't say you have to enable that option.

I'd just like to have some warning under that option, informing the user what
that means, then I'm happy.
