Some folks do, some folks don't. My email account at work, for
instance, charges for every 10K sent or received -- the two images sent
along were about 75K apiece, it seems, so that one piece of mail
would've cost me a bundle.
An easier way of dealing with attachments, HTML, large files* and things
like that are to toss them onto a webpage and send a message to the
list, inviting people there; or send it directly to people who've asked,
or seem interested in it. Sending a 150K post to a list serving 200-odd
people also chews up a considerable amount of bandwidth, especially so
since most of it could have been saved.
