Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Duh...this time with attachement!

[Jeff Hobson (jhobson]

Good to hear you folks are moving along so well!

I'm sure you got this comment from many others, but please in general do
*not* send attachments to the list. They usually don't come through well
(see below - yours came through as lots of weird characters), many of us
simply delete them because of the huge potential for viruses from
unsolicited attachments, and they gunk up the list-server.

A good alternative is to include in your email the text of the item, or a
description of the thing, and offer to send the attachment directly to
people who want the entire file.

Peace,
Jeff Hobson

weekend. We're going to find a site soon - I feel it in my bones (or is
that just my wishful thinking...)
