Actually, a Yahoogroup mailing lists can be set up to accept or prohibit
attachments. One thing I wish more people would remember is that
getting an unexpected attachment that is large (like any audio file) is
considered rude. Some people are on dial-up. Other people have mail
programs that hog all of a computer's processing while grabbing incoming
mail, effectively shutting down all parallel processes.
It is way more polite to send a link to an mp3 file and is doesn't
require that a mailing list allow attachments.
