    I think its better to confine attachments to a place on 
the web site.  There are two problems with allowing 
attachments to a mailing list; one is that some people are 
still on slow services, I am still on a dial-up (have to fix 
that) and the other is that a specific place on the web site 
allows easy archiving of material so that its easy to find. 
The MRCG site already has places for photos, manuals, 
software, etc.  I belong to other lists that use this method 
successfully.
