I strongly agree that demime would be a handy thing for this mailing
list, and in fact for most mailing lists.

I've run a few small, controlled-subscriber, mailing lists where it's
handy to actually be able to use the list to distribute the latest
budget spreadsheet to the members of the convention committee, for
example.  Since everybody really needs it, there's a net gain relative
to putting it up on a website (plus, realistically, not that many
people actually look on the web site).  But this is a special case off
in the corner of the problem space, I agree.
