I vote to send attachments direct to who ever solicits them.

As Andy Warren has pointed out, there are 1200 people on the list
if 100 people ask for the attachment, that leaves more than 10 times
that number who didn't ask for it.

Also, I, along with many others have no way of refusing large e-mails.
I don't pay by the byte, but I do pay the standard telephone charges.
