Horray! A great bit of news for the new year. This is what the SAR-L (South African Railways) Group has been doing for over a year. It has really helped with getting images displayed for all to see. List membership and the member contribution is also up since going to the attachment system. This makes it very easy to share photos as you do not need to search the Photos section to find them. Photos show as small pic attachments below the message. Click on them and you have the enlarged format like what is currently in the "Photos" section display. One can attach 6-8 color pics per email message.
There has not been any reported negative impact (virus or otherwise) on SAR-L. If the same format is used here, there will also be a left hand side-bar file label (similar to and below the current "Photos" section) where all of the attachments will be displayed historically by date sent.
