That's why the "ftpmail" option is in there. If you install FTPMail, you
can forward Majordomo requests to it for handling.
The problem is not only does the file need to be uuencoded, it would also
be nice to split it if it is too big, or Mime encode it, or so on and so on.
To avoid all that, you can simply pre-uuencode the file, and put that in
the file directory.
