The Orchids Digest is now run By Kenneth B (I'm not going to even
attempt to spell is name before coffee) for free using freelists.org.
Looking at the freelists info, it appears that it is possible to have a
list with attached images. Seems to me that it would provide us a way
to share photos at no cost to anyone; maybe a little time as a moderator
to kill abuser's participation, and I'm willing to give that a try.

Basically, you just send an email with photo attached to the list
address (I have applied for " - not active
yet; should be within 24 hours if approved) , and the server distributes
it to all members. Reply, and that goes to all, as well.

It is possible to have all of the day's messages sent as a single
"digest", but with the images, that's probably not a good idea, as it
could be huge!

What the heck, let's give it a try and see how it goes. I can always
close it down again. I'll cross-post info if it's approved.

I don't remember that proposal, Ray. Maybe it was made here after I was
blocked. Can you elaborate?

I will repeat a proposal I made some time ago, but which gained no
response: anyone up for a binaries newsletter?

You know, Diana, I think Ray hit the nail. I can go to abp gardens and
am receiving recent pictures from members but not from non-members. But
non-member text comes through just fine. I can read Wendy's posts
but can't receive her pictures same as here on abpo.

I remember the discussion about the problem. E-S is of no use if we
can't see the original posts. Oddly, I can see the ones that were up
before I logged on with E-S.

Back to the old drawing board. Maybe a note to the site admin.

I am on E-S, and I'm missing some of the "OP"s, as well.
If I recall, there was a discussion about (motzarella's) issues with
attached images only showing up if they were posted by one of their own
subscribers, but I thought that had been resolved.

All:
May I ask, who here is using eternal-september.org? And if you are, can
you
see all of the original posts? I am getting threads, but no OPs other
than
the one KB posted, and she was using eternal-september. I also was able
to
read my own.
I remember that when some went to Motzarella that they had this same
issue.
How did you handle it?
Diana
