I don't want to omit all=20 pictures, there are just certain topics, turbo's for example, that I am=20= not interested in. I cannot select the ones I want to download because=20= I have no idea what is being downloaded by my computer until it is=20 completed. I get approx. 50-60 emails a day. If 10 of them contain=20 pictures I go eat dinner while waiting for the download to complete.=20 This problem is enhanced when topics are changed but the subject line=20 is not, a problem that has already been pointed out. The separate site for pictures on the biplane site works very well=20= as all the pictures are archived from the last 3 years and are=20 available whenever we want to review them. I just thought I would=20 mention it as we seemed to be discussing ways to make this site more=20 user friendly.
