What about the Graph part though?

IN short you can\'t these groups are text only discussion groups.
You could put it on a file download site and post a link.

No-one in their right mind will open a XLS* or DOC* file of unknown
provenance so your best bet is save all the numeric content as tab
delimited and include some notes on what to plot to see the graph.

You could provide instructions as to what area to select for plotting.

There is quite an art in saving formulae so that a spreadsheet in tab
delimited text form can be downloaded inspected and then loaded into
Excel to work dynamically on any new data.

Or, render a graphic (JPG, TIFF, etc.) of the graphics... something
that is benign to most browsers.

[\"Between friends\", I would have suggested rendering the report
to a PDF -- but even those can be hostile (open in sandbox)]

Many folks don\'t (or, in my case, won\'t expose their site to
The Masses).

But, you can post to a free, third-party service and then
publish a link to it, there.

However, you\'ll have to pick a form that users would
know to be benign (you wouldn\'t open an arbitrary EXE
file posted to a site, would you?)

Thanks everyone for your useful input.
