[Mkguild] The Long Road part 1

[Stephen Tigner]

There are at least 3 problems I can see with sending stories as email
attachments, instead of in-line in the email.
1) Not every one may be able to open the attachment.
-- I realize that RTF is fairly universal at this point and shouldn't be too
big of an issue, but I did want to mention that.
2) Some mail systems may strip off attachments for security reasons.
3) Not everyone gets the individual emails, and instead subscribes to a
digest that summarizes the day's emails in a single email. The list server
strips off the attachments when that happens. If you look at the quoted
email from Zamir, that's what happened here.

(This is what I'm referring to:)

Hope this helps explain what's going on here. ;)
