that, if signature messages are attached such as PGP codes, and if 
people believe that the list is so insecure, and some subscribers are so 
paranoid about posting to the list, as to need PGP codes, then I 
would concede to that. Any other attachments can be published on a 
posters' web page, with the URL included in a posted message, as has 
been done in the past. >
