The Statalist FAQ is totally explicit.
In section 2.2,
"We ask you not to post formatted messages or attachments.
In fact, Statalist software may trap these formatted
messages or attachments without sending an error message
to you. Please make sure that your mailer is set to "Plain
Text" for outgoing messages (or the equivalent for your
mailer); that is, do not send HTML, Rich Text, VCards,
winmail.dat files, other attachments, or anything other
than Plain Text."
And again in section 3.
"Please do not include attachments. Many members have
mailers that cannot handle them. In any case, attachments can
spread viruses and clog up mailers with unwanted large files."
If anyone has any suggestions about how this could made
clearer, do please let me know.
