What is the best way to do this? I tried attaching the source, log  
and output to my e-mail and the list rejected it saying:

--Apple-Mail-2--769332745

Content-Type: application/octet-stream;
     x-unix-mode=0644;
     name="sample.log"
Content-Disposition: attachment;

because the message seemed to contain an enclosure.
