I'm not positive, but I don't believe mailman will send an attachment to a
subscriber. I can include specific text, but the entire faq is a bit much to
stuff in the "welcome to the list" email. But, what I CAN do is include a
link to the faq in the new subscriber welcome message.

Ok, I can do that. But bear in mind that providing for a particular persons
mailserver to have an extended outage, means that because of YOUR outage, 14
other people won't get their email for a while. How far do I try to
accomodate one person at the expense of others?
I'm still considering options....
