A significant portion of the list is unable to use attachments. Please do not send attachments to the list. All email to the list should be send as plain text. This is the one and only standard used by all computers and all email programs. If you use these programs please change your setting so that your messages will be sent as plain text.
Attachments are files that are attached to an email message.
Attachments are a way of sending a content that uses characters outside of the ascii standard. There are many computer viruses that are spread via email. Email containing virus atachments and scripts have gone through this list. I can not prevent these from being sent through the list. I recommend that everyone subscribed to the list get a good anti-virus program.
