  Ah, but:

$ du -xcsh \'gm\ convert\'\ in\ 1.5\ and\ 1.7.eml
464K    'gm convert' in 1.5 and 1.7.eml
464K    total

  There's a ~ +1/3 overhead for base 64 encoding in email.

  Upload to imageshack or similar and then post a link would be an easy way to
do it.  Then there's no size issue and only those who want the data end up
getting it.

    cheers,
