Well, the Administrator for my universities mail system does not like it
when users have a lot of attachments in their mail boxes. Personally, I
would rather have a pointer to the info, like say on the web.. I get a LOT
of mail from this list alone (I was shocked at how many messages I had
today alone. It took me an hour to read through everyone of them!), and my
box fills up fast. I am only alotted a certain amount of space for the
disk quota of my personal mail box (I think it is 2 mb).

However, small text files are no problem, neither are small images. But
please, just mention to the list  that you have a zip, word, or other
large file for us to view and wait for people to ask for them.

Time was I stood where thou dost now
And view'd the dead as thou dost me
Ere long you'll lie as low as I
And others stand and gaze at thee
