[Greenbuilding] ( I vote NO! ) Re: Sending photos through the list

[RT]

I would prefer that this List *not* have the capacity to include image  
file attachments with emails.

Given the seeming inability of more than a few listmembers to <snip> out  
the redundant/repetitive material from their messages before replying ,  
combined with the propensity for multiple send-outs of the same message  
occurring more often than one would like (whether due to listmembers' mail  
programs, listserver glitches, moon phases etc) ... the spectre of a  
mailbox full of multi-megabyte messages from this List is very real and  
not something I'd care to be subjected to.

I would prefer to see:

(a) Something along the lines of Yahoogroups where images (or other file  
attachments) can be put up at the List website so that members can have  
the choice as to whether or not to download. This could be easily  
accomplished right now simply by creating a sister list at Yahoogroups (or  
similar) for the purpose of file-sharing (something that I already did  
years ago "GB-r-Us at yahoogroups.com") and keeping text-only messages on  
this List.

                 or

(b) Provide Listmembers with the option to choose whether or not they want  
to have file attachments included with their emails (ie perhaps in the  
same manner that members currently can select their mode of mail reception  
ie individual messages or digest version or "No mail"/read from the  
archives

		or
(c) as others have suggested, simply have members provide a link to a  
website where images may be viewed.
