I'm wondering if there is a limit on the size of a file that can be tagged to
a message posted to the cypherpunks mailing list.

This is a very good question, Jeremy. Basically, the software that runs
this mailing list does not allow anybody to post encoded binary data
(attachments).

The best way to give code to interested parties is to put it on
your Web site and let the interested parties know its location.

Good luck,

Isn't that censorship?

As a general rule ("netiquette"), you don't attach *anything* to a
message posted to a list.  If the attachment is plain text, however,
and it's rather small, i.e., same as you would hand-type inline, and
you're sure nobody's browser will have a problem with it, it might
be OK then.
