You didn't read careful about where to put file. See above and it said,  
'Try to avoid sending any attachments to the mailing list  
(gnome at FreeBSD.org), because attachments sent to FreeBSD mailing lists are  
usually discarded by the mailing list software.' Your attach file doesn't  
make it in here.
