Yes, some attachment types, and also bigger attachments. The mailing
list is not intended to distribute larger or binary attachments. Smaller
plain text attachments (few kBytes, so your .spec file or something)
should work, for something bigger, file them through fetchmail's
ticketing systems on SourceForge or GitLab please and mail the pointer.
