That is a matter of personal opinion. I run a list serve and I do not 
want any attachments on any of my lists. I strip all attachments from 
emails. While you may feel that users should always be able to attach 
their desired attachments, that choice is the right of the list serve 
owner.

This 'digital signature' attachment argument is not likely to find 
majority than the argument for HTML in emails. I also strip all HTML 
from any list mail while some people feel that is wrong as well. 
Sorry people but the list owner gets to choose what they want to deal 
with.
