Definitely. It would be a management nightmare if Rootsweb allowed
attachments and folks on a list got in a feud because one person got a
virus from another one on the list because of an attachment. Rootsweb
can't do anything about the systems people use so the best it can do is
prevent email that might carry a virus. It's a smart decision even if
folks don't like it because they want to send their favorite picture to
everyone on the list as an attachment.
