The transcript line for such a reference now gives more detail:\n\n- A file that is too large shows \"not read: too large\" together with the file's size.\n\n- A PDF that is still being downloaded shows \"queued before download\".\n\nBefore, the line only said \"not read\" or \"not read: could not be examined\".\n\n**Why**\n\nYou can see why an @-mentioned file was not loaded, so you know whether to shrink it or wait for it.\n\n- Area: Attachments\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
