Assuming you have a DOS based machine. What about people who are reading
their mail on a Unix box? Before our mainframe based system switched to
a
Lotus Notes server, my mail was pumped into a mainframe based e-mail
system
(PROFS). I couldn't even download attachments.
It would have been far more useful to publish the information as an
e-mail
message (not to mention, smaller). Attached binaries don't belong on
this
mailing list, as Adam has stated several times in the past.
