Thanks John for the reminder, I'll keep it handy so I won't repeat some of
my previous fiascos.

Hi folks,

Time to remind everyone what the rules are for attaching files to e- 
mails going out on the Rhodes22 mailing list:

1) Attachment size is limited to 5Mb.  However, some attachment types  
actually increase in size when encoded for e-mail delivery, so if you  
know your attachment it close to the 5Mb size limit, but still does  
not appear in list mail, try reducing its size a little more.

2) File types permitted are: most image, video, and audio formats,  
plain text, PDF.  Attachments are filtered by MIME type, which means  
the file extension is less important.  However, some readers may not  
be able to open files with oddly spelled extensions.  It's best to  
keep it simple:
	- use all lower case filenames
	- avoid punctuation characters or spaces in filenames
	- use three character file extensions (e.g.  .jpg, .pdf, .mp3, .wmv)

3) The vast majority of attachments are either photos in JPEG format  
or documents in PDF format.  If you wish to post a different type of  
file to the list, convert it to PDF first.  This is almost universally  
readable and offers the most flexibility.  If you don't know how to  
convert to a PDF, you can use this free online service -
http://www.pdfonline.com/convert-pdf/ 
   There is a 2Mb file size limit for the free service, but that will  
cover most needs.

Cheers!
