I wish there was a way to safely and securely support image attachment
to messages. I tried it on another mailing list on this server a few
months back. It was a disaster and the 500 or so members of that list
overwhelmingly asked to have it switched back to plain text.

Without getting into details, supporting images would require supporting
MIME encoded mail, which just happens to be a favorite method these days
for spammers to harvest addresses and distribute their crap (and malware
too). 

If you want to post pictures, simply post them to the User Contributed
section of the Gallery on www.f500.org, and then post a link to them in
your message. That way those who want to see the image can open it in a
browser.
