Unfortunately, I can't read the attached diagram, as I have no software 
on the machine on which I read my mail that can read PowerPoint 
presentations, so I can't answer your question.

I *might* be able to read it, and answer your question, if it were sent 
as a Word document - but many others might not be able to.

If a picture needs to be sent, it should be sent as a GIF, a PNG, or a 
JPEG, as those are more likely to be readable by a given reader of the 
list.  It should *NOT* be sent as a Word document or a PowerPoint 
presentation.  (However, for network diagrams, "ASCII art", although it 
takes mroe work to produce, has the advantage that it takes fewer bytes 
to send, and thus makes people whose Internet access is over dial-up 
lines or other slow connections happier.)
