There was a 440KB attachment that didn't come through.  I've posted it 
temporarily at:

http://simonstl.com/misc/FederalStatuteonEbikes.pdf

Attachments generally don't come through to the list.  The maximum size 
of a message is 100KB, and if you think about digests, which can contain 
20 messages, it's definitely wise to keep that low.

Thanks,
