We avoid attachments for one practical reason.  It drives our digest members
absolutely bonkers, not to mention our overseas subscribers who pay by the
minute for dial-up downloads.  As much fun as it would be to share pictures,
it's just too much headache to administrate to allow attachments.

Our method is to have the list members place their pics and other stuff on
personal websites, then post the URL.  This way, everyone is happy.

We also ban HTML, BTW, since that too screws up the digest horribly, and
makes a mess of overseas ISP's.

Not this listowner.  I've seen too many virus, or auto-spam, address
spoofing items (very good spoofing, I might say), on too many of my lists.
