Please don't post large files to this (or any) e-mail list.
Some of us receive our mail over slow modem connections, and a
large attachment in the incoming e-mail really backs up the stream.
The preferred way of sharing a large file is to post it to your HTTP
or FTP server and include only the address link in your mail. This
especially applies when posting to a large list where only a few of
the recipients are likely to really want your file.
In this case, your file arrived when I was downloading my e-mail on
a laptop from a hotel room with a slow modem connection where I was
paying by the minute.
