Have you considered a fairly simple .html attachment formatted either to look
like each site or at least something generic with some context and a
layout/sans serif font like you use on the site? Perhaps something like:
Development Online Group

(Add for Private Groups:
These files were shared via a "private" online group. You may need to use your
SITE NAME password after you click on a file.
(Then as once proposed by Richard, allow open downloading of private files for
X days w/o a password.))
Note: This online group supports file sharing. Please name your file with
meaning before attaching to an e-mail sent to the group or before uploading the
file via the group website. Because files are on the server and not directly
e-mailed, you may share large files up to XYMB. You may browse past files by
topic via the online group or access them by search.
(Perhaps you want some sort of lesson in how to use the file sharing repeated
again and again, since we are teaching people new behaviour and thus far folks
aren't taking much advantage of this feature.)
