It's also just a waste of bandwidth. Much nicer on everyone's networks
and mail machines if you simply put one copy of the file up somewhere
where everyone can go look at it (in this case, on the webpage).

Some of us don't *want* our mailers to be able to read MIME. :) (Ok,
yes, I'm prejudiced against MIME!)


Lots of violet-green swallows zipping around the house this past week,
getting into every corner of the backyard and scaring the cat. He
cowered on the back porch until I opened the door and let him in (they
were between him and the kitty-window). I have never seen them before in
the neighborhood! I hope they stay, there are a few houses avilable for
them (with swallow-only openings!) but so far no takers.

White crowned sparrows appeared in the backyard this weekend, first ever
sighting for this house! Lots of house finch activity, and the robins
are loving the newly turned-over grass chunks.
