Dear Fabrizio.

1) I would be happy if you or other members created such a dropbox to allow
people to post images, linking to them in their Rietveld posts. The main
problem with images is simply that they are not archived on
http://www.mail-archive.com/rietveld_l@ill.fr/ so are not available for
future reference.

2) But apparently not everyone thinks their images need be archived - you
yourself propose they be deleted after one month. In that case, I propose
that since we already made an exception for Jim, as a test, we allow such
people to post small images (<75 kbyte) directly to the Rietveld mailing
list.

They will not be archived, and I personally think that reduces the interest
of the archive, but I concede that other people have a different opinion.
Vive la difference !

Alan
