That wouldn't be advisable.  I had a co-worker who made a mistake of sending
a 36MB core dump file to an email list rather than directly to his
supervisor.  About 50 people got this file, preventing them from downloading
their email, caused the email server to crash big time for two when all the
disk space disappeared, the system administrator had to manually delete each
and every email with the attachment, and my coworker had apologize profusely
to everyone for a couple of weeks.  The only bright spot out of this little
disaster was that system administrator was able to get emergency approval to
buy a new 30GB RAID subsystem that he's been trying to get for several
months.  After all, it only takes one stupid programmer to crash the email
server, and whole a bunch of stupid programmers can make it happen more
often. <G>
