Using an image hosting service works fine, and removes any risk from the listserve itself. In practice it's just one click, easier than opening the typical attachment. On Fri, Dec 12, 2008 at 3:43 AM, Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com>wrote:

It's really too bad the list didn't allow Rob's photo attachment (even after I the moderator approved the post!), it was a beautiful shot.
For those who might wonder, it is pretty much standard practice for attachments to barred from listserves. I am on more lists than I care to admit <grin> and only one allows attachments.
It seems hackers have found that attachments are are a great way to spread computer viruses to the unsuspecting.
It would be nice if the list would allow list administrators to approve attachments on a case-by-case basis but the only choice is to either allow them all or none at all.
