Er... you did it again. The above note also had a VeriSign attachment.
I don't know if you spend a lot of time on mailing lists, but every one I
belong to takes a very dim view of attachments. There are several good
reasons for this, not least of which is the waste of bandwidth and time
involved. On this list, for instance, each needless attachment is
circulated to about 2,000 people around the world, and adds time to mail
downloading for each one of them.
VeriSign may be useful for important financial transactions, legal
correspondence and similar critical e-mail transmissions, but there is no
good reason to use it otherwise. Especially not when writing to listservs.
It's not a "little thing".
