Can I send binary files (including pictures) to the list?
No. Many list subscribers use fairly slow modems to download their mail. This means that your picture (which they may not want to see) will cost them significant amounts of time and money to download. In addition, some subscribers have a limited amount of storage for incoming mail, and your gigantic picture may cause their system to bounce back other mail. If you have a picture that you think other list members might be interested in, you have two choices: • Send a message to the list offering to send the picture to anyone who asks for it. • Put it on a web site, and then post the URL to the list. If you can’t create your own web pages, then another list member may offer to host your picture on their page if you ask nicely.
