    Hi, IAMSLIC folks: A recent e-mail sent to the IAMSLIC list with an
    attachment generated over 40 error messages for your friendly
    discussion list managers.

    As a reminder: PLEASE do NOT send attachments to the discussion list.

    Again, this is for both security and ease-of-access reasons. Not only
    does this prevent the likelihood of a virus infecting an IAMSLIC e-mail
    discussion list recipient's computer but many subscribers may not have the
    software application that the attachment is sent in and hence *cannot* use
    the attachment at all.

    I have heard from several IAMSLIC members that they >>routinely<< DELETE
    *any* e-mails which include attachments. If you want your e-mail to be
    sent to the greatest number of IAMSLIC recipients in the safest manner
    possible, please incorporate your entire message within the body of your
    IAMSLIC e-mail!

    Thank you again for using "safe" e-mail practices :*)

    Ruth Gustafson
    IAMSLIC discussion list manager
