They're not? How else can you receive this? Unlike the main python-list,
this isn't (as far as I know) mirrored on Usenet.

I wonder under what circumstances people could read this email without
seeing any attachments.

My mistake, I was under the impression it was mirrored on Usenet.

It is mirrored in several places such as the main Python web site, the ActiveState archive and the GMane news server.So although it's not on Usenet per se it can be read via a newsreader. It's how I receive it :-)

I'm not sure how well the Python/Activestate archives support attachments but GMane seems to work just fine...

A bigger problem for mobile users is that attachments use bandwidth which is often paid for by the byte so lots of attachments become expensive... Although most mobile mail tools should defer fetching attachments until specifically asked to!
