I think the answer varies depending on the nature of the list. My lists are all 'discussion' lists, for which GIF's and JPG's are completely out of line, as are other binary attachments. I also ban posts in HTML because IMHO HTML adds little, if any, significant value just through formatting, the duplication inherent in most HTML encoded messages is wasteful (the cost of my net connection tripled in the last year because of increased bandwidth needs, mostly caused by list traffic), and HTML causes problems with a significant number of my subscribers. -- Mike Nolan
