There is an attachment on the original invite email, called "invite.cs".
I see it on the instance of the invite that I got in my inbox directly,
not reflected from the list (because I was named personally on the
invite). However, the attachment is missing from the email reflected by
the list software.

This is not surprising: the edk2-devel list configuration strips all (or
most) attachments. If I remember correctly, I've complained about this
earlier -- such a list config is broken. It prevents people from sending
screenshots (well-compressed PNG screenshots of virtual machines are a
few tens of KB, they are perfectly suitable for mailing lists). It also
prevents people from sending compressed log files in attachments. IIRC
at one point I also had to base64-encode some binary file manually, and
embed it in the normal body of the email, because I wanted the mailing
list *archive* to preserve it.

At least with the TianoCore Bugzilla, we have another option for saving
binary artifacts necessary for debugging / bug reporting. The mailing
list config remains broken however.

Thanks
