My personal feelings are: I don't like it.

This is an exchange forum for ideas, not for utilities.

I download my mail on a PC, so if posted this way, I must save the
archive, copy it onto my Mac, expand it there, and open it in MacPerl to
see what it is. Ugh.

I prefer source code, which I can inspect on sight. Even if it's to be
saved as a droplet: You should just say so, and those interested in
doing it, can easily do it themselves.

If your mail system is on a Mac, you can simply do copy and paste into
the MacPerl editor. Sounds simple enough to me.

Now, there's a huge part of the list subscribers that won't even bother.
The attachment is pure garbage for them.
