Steve,
List members who posted the pictures took care to make them
relatively small and invited comment specifically as to whether the
size was a problem. They are clearly sensitive to the bandwidth
issue.
My connection is very slow by North American standards (28.8k at
best) and the pictures weren't a problem for me. But I know what it
is like when someone casually attaches a Word document of 500kB
or more (!!) without a second thought.
Sorry to hear that the pictures were a stress for you to receive. I'm
afraid the only reasonable solution is to post pictures on a website
somewhere and provide links, so that viewing is optional.
