[ale] MS Office new version

[Jim Kinney]

Just so people know: the included PDF is a ONE TIME THING!!. The list has a
40k limit and I manually overrode it for this purpose. It also was a test of
how this process works as an admin on the list.

Abuse of privilege? Probably.  If someone has a need to send a larger
included file than is usually allowed, I think, within reason (OK - I am
talking about ALE here - hmm...) the occasional, non-inflammatory file
posting of a relevant nature and need is doable. I don't know of anyone who
is on a metered connection (that would be a bad thing for them). I also
don't know how an attachment would be handled by the digest function. If
anyone is using digest of ALE and the attachment came in poorly or not at
all, please let me know.

I now return you to your normal postings of geeky blathering and banter and
general Linuxy goodness.
