Comma and which
1. The attached file is a price list for Acme which was sent to them in April....
Here, since 'which' is price list not Acme, do I need to use a comma like below?
2. The attached file is a price list for Acme, which was sent to them in April....
Or, #1 is also o.k.?
Thanks in advance.
