No it's not. They can upload the file(s) to the website, or any number
of online file/image store services.

If that's too hard they can send it to a person, as opposed to sending
it to 200 people.

Yes there is. Emailing files to individuals is fine. Emailing
bigger-than-trivial files to mailing lists is stupid and I shall
continue to discourage it.

I know Ol agrees with me. Mailing lists are not an appropriate
file-transfer mechansim.

Right now I am fixing the mail server for the machine so boc can mail
passwords, then I am doing git updates and more charger
soldering/battery balancing. Then I have a cavelink loan agreement to
write. And some roofing to do. Even if I wanted the change the mailing
list config it's a long way down the list of urgent issues. Mark's doc
has been dealt with as it should have been in the first place. If
anyone has any more docs, please upload them somewhere sensible.
