Fortunately the list probably did NOT get it since we allow neither HTML
mail nor attachments - for specifically this reason (to avoid virii).
But for all of you who are wondering why your message(s) don't make it on
the list, you must send them as PLAIN text with NO attachments, NO styles,
NO formatting, and none of those cute little gif's with your logo on it in
your signature that take up 6k with each mailing.
Thanks
