Here are a few reasons why attachments should be included in the list :
1. Security - Attachments can be checked for viruses (when uploaded).
2. Availability - Attachments will exist in the list archives, whereas
url links may break in the future.
3. Security - Attachment contents cannot be modified, whereas the data
the url points to may change.
4. List members don't need their own web space to post attachments.
5. Storage space - Attachments can be compressed on Apple's servers
and decompressed (in real-time) when requested.
6. Bandwidth - Apple's servers will probably have more bandwidth than
most user's own web space.
I have no idea whether it is true for all lists at lists.apple.com, but
a message I received on the networking list an hour ago had this at the
bottom:
-------------- next part --------------
A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
Name: not available
Type: text/enriched
Size: 989 bytes
Desc: not available

This seems like a good solution, no one is force fed attachments, but
you keep all the advantages of having attachments included in the list.
