Amen! Also use Thunderbird, works well for all the various groups I am
on, this one, Yahoo and groups.io.
Would like to see a viable way to allow the inclusion of a copy of a pic
into the text or of .jpg/,jpeg attachments. I understand it is concern
that attachments made by 'members' of the TT group might contain a virus
or malware. I'm not a programmer just a user so don't understand all the
nuances of the pic inclusion or attachment issue.

Yes, Rob, there is a contesting.com web interface. But, none of us is
forced to use the web interface. Same for Yahoo Groups and Groups.io.
For all these email reflectors I use Thunderbird local email client
and keep all my email local, not on the web. The "Delete" key is your
friend; it is really fast just looking at the Subject.
If you want to access an archive, you need the web interface.
Otherwise, not.
It seems to have been overlooked here but the salient difference once
proposed in this thread was to change to a *forum* format. I presume
the person who proposed that does know what a forum is. A forum is
vastly different than any kind of email reflector and is necessarily a
web interface. It is a totally different experience!
I agree it would be sometimes helpful to have the ability to attach
pictures but that does bring the potential for abuse. When picture
attachments are allowed, their size can be limited.
Safe computing presumes the use of effective anti-virus software on
your own computer; that anti-virus software should also scan incoming
email, including attachments.
For info, please understand that I own and moderate numerous
Restricted (not Private) Yahoo Groups (for over eleven years) and I
allow picture attachments to those emails. I've *never* had any abuse
of this feature. "Restricted" means I have approved each person
requesting to join the reflector but it does not prevent finding the
reflector when searching and asking to join.

It's how I read this email list.
