IMHO, one of the nicest features of the IMP webmail program is
the ability to copy attachments to the web server, and send links
to those in the e-mail rather than the actual attachments.

I don't generally use webmail programs, preferring crufty old
mutt, but when I have a need to send attachments, particularly to
a list like this, using IMP makes it easy and efficient.
