This is assuming that people with bandwidth problems or who have to pay for
download bandwidth *can* change how their mailers work.  Some people don't
have the option of refusing attachments (or if they do, the attachment is
still downloaded to their PC - I know Eudora works that way).

What should have been done is to put the files on a server and let everybody
who wanted them download them at their leisure, rather than pushing them on
all 1200 of us.


If you have a large file that people have requested and you don't want to
send to each person individually and you don't have a web page or server
space for the file(s), it is appropriate to put a request on the list for
somebody to put it on their server.

I did this in the past and I always got two or three people willing to help
out.
