Actually, a Yahoogroup mailing lists can be set up to accept or prohibit 
attachments.  One thing I wish more people would remember is that 
getting an unexpected attachment that is large (like any audio file) is 
considered rude.  Some people are on dial-up.  Other people have mail 
programs that hog all of a computer's processing while grabbing incoming 
mail, effectively shutting down all parallel processes.

It is way more polite to send a link to an mp3 file and is doesn't 
require that a mailing list allow attachments.
