Beg pardon, but you can't fit a hell of a lot of picture into 2k. Thats
slightly over 1 screen of text. Also, you have to realize that this is
hell on the listserver. multiply your attachment size which I'd put more
realilisticly at 60k f picture at a decent resolution, times several
hundred subscribers, times the ammount of idiots who will reply without
deleting the attachment, and you'll see the probelm with passing
attachments throught a listserv
