thanks for the input:
Half OT: Modern MUAs usually support options how to handle pictures.
Evolution for example provides
- Never load images from the Internet
- Load images only in messages from contacts
- Always load images from the Internet
in my case the pictures are important and should always be shown,
blocking them renders the message itself useless
If your mailing list/forum should be for photograph or something
similar, people might prefer original pics, instead of formated pics. If
pics are unimportant or less important, than I would add restrictions to
the allowed formats and sizes and ban anything else.
the pictures are important, but not the quality of the pictures itself.
(its about pictures of waste paper and plastic's, not family holiday
snapshots)
I don't see the need that it's your task to take care about the
bandwidth of the Internet connections the users have got, this is the
task of their MUAs. IMO you only should care about the traffic for your
servers, especially if people upload pics to your forum, just to link
from their own homepages to those pics, to avoid traffic for their
websides.
it is my task, as i said its not a public service but a private service,
have more then enough bandwidth and cpu cycles to spare on my side, i
know the end users who don't (my colleagues on different continents) and
a good and usable result matters to me
