Folks, per the official Low End Mac Email List FAQs:

http://www.lowendmac.com/lists/netiquette.shtml

> Don't send styled text or HTML files; only send plain text. Styled text may 
> or may not come through as an attachment, but it is very difficult to read 
> with a plain text email client. Google Groups will accept styled text and 
> attachments, and this can result in garbled digests.

On a similar vein:

> Never send attachments to the list. An attachment may contain a virus, may be 
> in a format others cannot use, may not make it through some mail gateways, 
> makes the message bigger, and could bog down both the list server and the 
> mail server.
> 
>       • Many of today's email programs send styled text attachments by 
> default. Please turn HTML and other styled text off when posting to our lists 
> (see #3). (Note that PGP.sig files and v-cards are attachments.)
>       • Instead of sending an attachment to the list, offer to email it 
> directly to those who request it.
>       • Low End Mac lists used to be explicitly set to reject any and all 
> attachments. We can't do that with Google Groups.

So please abide by these rules. Not following them may result in your being 
placed on moderated status or your messages not getting through.
