If you have a file you wish to share with people on any mailing list, it
is always the best option to upload it to a web/FTP server and send the
link address out in a message.

The issue on Flightmed (the mailing list) is that adding large attachments
to each email tends to overload the mail server when it's sending that
much data to nearly 1000 people. Add to that the fact that not everybody
on the list necessarily wants them sent to them automatically, or may not
be able to handle that particular type of file anyway, such as Powerpoint
presentations, or that many folks will be stuck downloading a huge email
attachment via slow dial-up before they can access the rest of their
email.

If you (or anyone else) do not have web space available for this sort of
thing, there is plenty of space on FlightWeb for storing photos, graphics,
sample document forms, protocols, Peds cheat sheets (what ever happened to
those, anyway), etc.  Just let me know and I'll tell you how to upload the
files. A link to each file can then be sent out to the list so people can
choose to download them if and when they like.

Later
