can one attach figures to messages ??

Greetings
We are considering using Mailman to organize and archive the blizzard of email messages that our group passes amongst one another. We are a subatomic physics group where some of our collaborators are in Europe, the US, etc.
I have a couple of quesitons that I could not find the answers to after a half-hour or so on your website:
One thing that absolutely we require is the ability to send figure attachments (usually Postscript). Another thing is that we would really like to be able to find old messages with a keyword search.
Can Mailman handle Postscript figure attachments and searching through archives ? If so, I think you'll get another pile of users.
Looking forward to your reply.
with best regards, dr marcello pavan

Mailman can handle attachments. Mailman's archiver cannot search the archived attachments. Lists can be archived, but I don't know if the archives are searchable. You can have other programs do the searching, as they're stored plain.
