No you can't. Go away. 8-)

But seriously, sending LARGE items to the list, especially at term time,
puts the future of this list at jepordy. If you are going to send a
large
file attachment (And remember not everyone can read attachments) then do
it late at night (UK time) or send info about the file to people telling
them where to download it, or where to E-mail for it.

There are nearly 200 people on this list, so every message you send
gets duplicated 200 times. This can put quite a strain on our server
and can clog up our mail que for several minutes.

So no, I'm not too keen on file attachments to the list.
