I'm wondering if there is a limit on the size of a file that can be tagged to a message posted to the cypherpunks mailing list. Jeremy Yu-Ramos DataET Research

This is a very good question, Jeremy. Basically, the software that runs this mailing list does not allow anybody to post encoded binary data (attachments). The best way to give code to interested parties is to put it on your Web site and let the interested parties know its location. Good luck, - Igor.

As a general rule ("netiquette"), you don't attach *anything* to a message posted to a list. If the attachment is plain text, however, and it's rather small, i.e., same as you would hand-type inline, and you're sure nobody's browser will have a problem with it, it might be OK then.
