Excellent idea.  I encourage this sort of thing whenever a
not-so-quickly changing file of large size is being mass sent on a
semi-regular basis.

Yes.  Email file retrieval is a rather simple process.  If whoever is
in charge of the lists will sned me e-mail, I will help them set up a
way to let anyone with a valid email address retrieve the files by
email.  This isn't particularly new stuff, so the bugs have been worked
out a for a while, and several PBeM games are using this to not only do
file retreival, but to automate game moderation as well.
