I just received a very large set of attachments (4 MB) from this list which took my email account over its limit and stopped my email until I called my ISP to delete it from the account (not sure why I was unable to delete it myself). Some listservs do not allow attachments for this reason, because people on dialup connections would have a hard time downloading and because of the risk of viruses. Has CCBC- NET ever considered blocking attachments? People who have pictures to share might consider uploading them to a photo service (like Snapfish and others) and providing a link to that site.
