wouldn't be interested in any one particular attachment (like
schematics). It also doesn't allow HTML; it's meant to be
lightweight.
Now that we're on a new server, would it be an abuse of the list
owner's (and admin's) good graces to request a ftp area for the
subscribers' use? One could then distribute a file (such as that
used for those Intercept Jr. schematics to the list.
Just a thought,
