It is better to include a URL where the file can be downloaded. As
soon as you attach an image file to an email, it expands by about 30%
(because of base64 encoding), making it even larger.  If you don't
have a place to upload files and get a URL, try
http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/On_the_Web/Web_Applications/Storage/Free/

Don't send attachments to mailing lists unless it's usual practice
(like sending a patch to a software development list) or you really
have no alternative. You will be taking up a lot of space, roughly the
size of the attachment multiplied by the number of people on the
list. One 3Mb waste is bad. 300 times 3Mb gets painful if common.

Switching off HTML (or "rich text") emails also helps keep it light.

Thanks for helping to keep the email list neat beneath your feet!
