 That's not explicit from the posting guide:

"No binary attachments except for PS, PDF, and some image and archive formats "

 you have to click through to the General Instructions to see:

"Furthermore, most binary e-mail attachments are not accepted, i.e.,
they are removed from the posting completely. As an exception, we
allow application/pdf, application/postscript, and image/png (and
x-tar and gzip on R-devel)."

Maybe the posting guide should be more explicit - not that anyone reads it...
