Strong suggestion, Jed: don't send large files or serious graphical
data or even tables requiring much formatting by email to a mailing list.
Instead, put it on a web site, either for direct display or for file
download. And then send the link. It is much more flexible and
preserves email
I just tried this with three messages which were probably too big. I think
40 KB is the limit.
Microsoft Word put this table out in HTML with enormous overhead.

Ah. That worked. Let me try HTML from on-line article:
The following table shows just how much more people consume in a serving
today compared to people in the 50s:
*Serving Sizes Then and Now**Food or beverage**1950s**Expanded 2003
portion*French
fries 2.4 ounces up to 7.1 ouncesFountain soda
Look fine.
40 kB is the *coded* limit. Mime encoding adds about 25% overhead.
Word overhead over text on small messages is outrageous. That's why
we made hypertext.
