Yes we can. But we can also send the files as attachments directly to
one another. In the future this is what I plan to do. The downside of
this is that it defeats the purpose of the mailing list, i.e. sharing
the data. Sharing Geez data is one of the main reasons I joined this
list. I'm having problems and I'd like some "group therapy." Now I
suppose I'm limited to Dr. Short. ;{)
How many list members would be willing to accept file attachments for
troubleshooting? Mike, Todd, Steve? I can create a group in my address
book which contains your names. When I have a problem or an interesting
run, I'll send it to Geez and the group. The rest of the list will get
MIME garbage, but they'd probably delete it anyway. ;{)
