It also is attached to posts in newsgroups and if you have a UUCP
connection like I do .... it is part of the message in converted
text format.  It also adds to the bandwidth problem that the 
Internet is already trying to deal with.   As far as I'm concerned,
it's a real pain unless being used on an Intranet.
