Except for those Mark sent copies to individually (off list), the charts 
wouldn't have been viewable at all.  This is because they were apparently 
sent as attachments. 

This discussion list is set up pretty judiciously, to help ensure it can't 
be used to send malware around.  This means no attachments and no embedded 
images.  

At best, the server will quarantine attachments or html in an online area 
where users have to give their EVDL passwords to see them.  In some cases, 
depending on the nature of the attachment, it may just dump them (and 
possibly your post too) into the bit bucket.   

I think it's great to share images and other binary files.  But you just 
can't send them as attachments.  Instead, post them on the web, on a 
filesharing service, or in an online photo gallery.  Then give us a link to 
the goodies.

One thing more - please put them in FULLY PUBLIC PLACES ON THE WEB.  Don't 
put them where people who want to see or download them have to subscribe or 
sign up. Especially avoid using social media such as Facebook, unless you're 
100% sure that you've made the pages totally public.  It's pretty annoying 
to read a message that says "check out my pictures" and click the link, only 
to have the page insist "to see this, sign up for Facebook."

Here is one public place you can post pictures and graphs (there are many 
others):

http://postimage.org/

And here are some file sharing services:
