to Not just Carl,
Please don't. It's very poor netiquette to post attachments to
mailing lists, _particularly_ anything not plain text or over just a
few K. The number one rule for this group, as with most all mailing
lists, is to use plain ASCII text only. So that precludes binaries,
rtf, html, etc., as attachments or inline.
In some unusual circumstances, a small plain text attachment is
deemed necessary or requested by a large number of the group. In that
rare event, netiquette requires a warning, eg, [w/ATTACHMENT] in the
subject line so most users can just delete the message unread. This is
still poor netiquette tho, as many users have to download their email
before they can delete it.
