I've suggested in the past that we use  Yahoo! Groups or something like it
to manage the list. It provides all of the services that are good for our
needs: mailing list management, archiving, browsing, searching, indexing,
posting of files and images and more.
And it is free and pretty easy to use. The downside is that you sometimes
get the occasional advertisement that you have to bypass in order to read
the article.  It doesn't happen that often though.
