The reason mailing lists don't allow images (or HTML/RTF) is that
viruses can be embedded into them.

99% of people will be decent, honest folk who won't do anything to
spoil the pleasure we get from our hobby, despite or may because of
the headaches.  Unfortunately there is that 1% who either don't have
good security or are spoilers who delight in being - well, spoilers.

As with so much in life it's the minority who spoil it for the majority.

Hence the no images rule.  Stone aged it may be but for everyone's
safety, it has to be thus until there is a way to quickly scan images
for malicious coding.

My lists are strictly no images and no HTML/RTF - and I enforce it.
