Ah, Jim it is considered really, really stupid to send a large enclosed 
file to a listserver. The reason is that maybe there are people who 
really don't care what your reel looks like and don't want to have to sit 
through downloading it. As a matter of fact, some consider it a reason to 
mailbomb you back to the stone age and to kick you off the list.

Let's see. There are about 200 people on these two lists, so the size of 
your file is 170k, so you basically sent a 34 megabyte mail bomb. If I 
was the listmaster, I would be really pissed.
