And that is why I specifically stated:
This and most email lists don't allow attachments
I have un subscribed from any list that allows attachments (from
Yahoogroups or any other) because of the very real danger that it
represents. Plus, it keeps unfiltered garbage from my system. Images
should be shared via files uploaded to web sites, Should you desire to do
otherwise, there is nothing wrong with it for you - for me there is. It's
one method I have used that decreases the chance of malware entering my PC,
and one reason I have not had a virus at all. (And just to include
information, I am certified via Microsoft for NT 4.0 security, and
Checkpoint - I am fully aware of the dangers, and how to avoid them - this
is just one of my choices).

Bob,
This is not meant to be critical in any way. I know nothing about
AOL but I can assure you that Yahoo Groups does not prohibit
attachments. That is a choice that is made by the person that
created the Group. Nothing more, nothing less. The Group I
moderate handles attachments just fine and from what I have seen
there are plenty of Groups that exist just for file or image sharing.
