This is not to say, however, that you should attatch anything you want to
an email message.  I say this because recently, the Miami Unix Collective
had a run-in with some weefle that attatched the registered version of
Quake to an email message and sent it to a buddy of his on MUC's
interactive machine.  I don't know how mail spools on OpenVMS, or how
tight the mail spool disk space is on MIAVX1, but that 25MB attachment
brought entropy to a grinding halt PDQ.
 
Boy, will it be nice when we get some disk for that Alpha...
