Well, there's a VERY good reason for not allowing attachments, and we found
out the hard way many years ago: viruses.

All it takes is for one list member to be infected by a virus (or worm or
trojan), and then once that person's computer is infected, the virus has
access to their address book and starts sending itself (as an attachment)
to everyone in it.  And when the virus sends itself to Looper's Delight,
everyone on the list [with a PC] who opens it gets infected.  And people
*do* open it because they think, "Oh, hey, look, my good friend List Member
X has sent this attachment. I bet it's a really cool looping thing!"  And
then all of *those* infected computers start sending the virus to the list.

It's a nightmare!
