As someone with a slower (56K) Internet connection and for
whom other e-mail messages are often more important then
discussion list messages, I would just as soon not have images
sent to the list. I don't have a limit on individual message size,
so binary attachmants are not an issue, but there is a maximum
mailbox storage size. Once the mailbox is full, messages (which
might be important business messages) begin to bounce untill
I download what's in the mailbox.

I would much prefer that list members use the post to the uploads
area and put a hyperlink in the list message technique that
Guillermo has demonstrated.
