I think the ability to post individual images by e-mail is an advantage, if we 
can ask for some parameters such as a problem with something or some other need 
for a shared single image.

  Subject: [pinhole-discussion] posting of images to the list?


  I'm posting an image to the list to test out a couple of things.  First, to 
be sure the list will handle it.  And second, to find out how it might affect 
various user's mail.

  It has long been against the policy of the list to send images for several 
reasons - primarily, the increased space required to store them and the 
additional time it takes to download mail from everyone's server.  

  If this image goes through ok, I ask everyone to NOT start posting images.  
Instead, let's discuss the pros and cons of doing this through the list.  For 
example, we can limit the size of postings to prevent anyone from sending any 
really large files.  Or we could come up with some guidelines to be followed.  

  We'll need feedback from those of you who are not able to view this image 
(assuming most can).  Also, if there is an outcry due to the download time, we 
just want allow posting of images.  Please remember that this is only a test 
and proposal for discussion!

  So, there should be an image below...
