The email list does support photos...I send one every few weeks or so just to prove it. The limit on a single email is about 250kB, and depending on how wordy it is, words alone will eat up 10-20kB, so images have to be down around 200kB each to ensure that one will make it through the size filter. That almost certainly requires shrinking the photo to something reasonable like 800x600 dpi, and then compressing it down to level 7 (out of 10). This produces a still perfectly readable image that is postable to the list. People try to send 5MB files off their smartphone several times a week, so if that filter weren't in place, you'd all have full mailboxes and wonder why. Some folks even try to send 10 5MB files at a time! I don't mind small photos being in the archive...that's what the archive and this list is for...capturing and disseminating KR information. All it takes (once you have downloaded "Irfanview" or some other free software or phone app) maybe a minute or two to shrink a large photo to something reasonable. All of this is described in the list rules, and there's a link to that in the footer of every email that is sent to the list. Apparently a lot of folks need to read it. I've given up beating up people about the list rules....I've got better things to do with my time....and it's futile anyway!
