Generally, I would agree that mail enclosures are a bad thing but

a. It is related to the topic at hand.
b. I just checked and the size of the file is 2418 bytes -- I've seen lots
of e-mail messages text longer than that.  As a comparison, your message
was 1009 bytes with headers.

Yes, there probably should be a standard of either no enclosures or only of
X size.  I personally favor not allowing enclosures as they can contain
nasty things like the 9805 worm or other.

I do favor allowing long messages which would give room for a reasonably
long message as well as a script in text format to be posted.  I don't
think this would overburden anyone on this list even at 1200kbps and I
don't know ANYONE who uses less than a 14.4kbps modem anymore.
