The primary concern for not letting photos on the list is that people flat out don't know, don't care, or don't use discretion as far as file size goes. I'm surprised people are still on dial-up, but be that as it may, John - is there an option for subscribers to not get attachments delivered to their email or simply a file size limit? I would say most photos for inclusion on the list can be seen well enough at 100K or less (which is still painfully slow on dial-up.)

I'm looking at the filtering options of Google Groups now but am certainly open to ideas: shall we strive to keep things as they were (where senders place pictures/attachments somewhere and refer to them as links) or allow attachments in e-mail?
