PLEASE, *never* send attachments to a mailing list.

I understand that your heart is in the right place, but 1] broadcasting
such a message is a terrible waste of bandwidth, 2] most people who end up
receiving the message probably don't want the material and 3] even among
most who do, it is very likely that they don't have the facilities for
"unpacking" the attachment (particularly if they are reading on another
machine-type). 

If you feel the material is useful to a large number of folks, feel free 
to post to the list inviting people to (for example) access the material 
from a website or --if that is not an option-- to e-mail you requesting 
the material directly.

Thanks

Nichael
