Yes it's possible to attach jpegs, gifs, tifs, mpegs, and any other
computer file to an email. However, I wouldn't suggest posting it to a
listserv. Just think about the amount of system resources. Taking a
simple 100K file and expanding it hundreds of times due to every user
subscribed to the mailing list. People would not be happy.
Easiest thing to do would be to put your pictures up on a web page and
for those that want to see your images...give them the URL.
