Corollary:
Create (add) a topic FILES, and default every (and change them to)
exclude files
TOPICS= FILES
DEFAULT-TOPICS= ALL,-FILES
Let folks know that they can opt-in to FILES
SET listname TOPICS +FILES
Regardless, when you send your attachment, make sure:
SUBJECT: FILES: name / purpose of file
You may need to do a follow msg to the list (excluding the FILES: topic
on the subject line) telling folks how to retrieve it from the NOTEBOOK
(WEB) archives.
