I think that image feature is about the only wish for a lot of folks, 
Ralph, and was clearly driving AB5S' query.

Like it or not, we have an image-dominant hobby, and being able to 
easily attach a snapshot to a list e-mail to illustrate a point is about 
the only thing I've ever missed in any of these "basic" ascii text 
forums.  I've used my aafradio.org website for years to essentially 
accomplish the same illustrative function, but it certainly isn't as 
convenient and quick as a native reflector capability.  As WA5CAB 
observed, the google groups and yahoo groups permit such a thing if the 
moderator(s) approve, and at the same time include a critical option for 
those who are concerned about downloading images for whatever reason to 
set permanent blocks against receiving them.  Win-win for everyone, it 
has always seemed to me.
