Dave P -

You give me too much credit.  I probably should understand more of the 
process than I do.  When everything works seamlessly, it tends to become 
the baseline.  I've become oblivious to the effort that makes the list work 
as well as it does.  But perhaps you can explain this again.  You don't 
want image files to continue to be attached to individual posts, is that 
correct?  Would you mind looking over the last few days of the list, at the 
posts containing images, such as the following (there are others) and tell 
me what you are trying to have done differently, and how that would affect 
such posts?

Tell me again what the problem is with imbedding the images within the post?
