Penalizing is the emailing of unsolicited binary attachments to hundreds or 
thousands of mailing list subscribers. This list's subscribers can see in the 
list posting rules that binary attachments are not to be expected unless of 
nominal size, thus can feel safe their disk space won't be wasted, and 
internet bandwidth won't be wasted, on things a select few have interest in 
or will be opening. It's little different than the waste that is HTML 
email[1], burdened with formatting that is magnitudes larger than the size of 
the text required to actually convey the message. Just a few clicking on a 
link to open a web-hosted image or other large size object is by far the 
lesser burden.
