 I get them as email, separated and sent to each ones appropriate
 folder.  Coolpix990 and the Photogallery allow attachments.  The 8700
 groups don't you have to post pictures in them.   So if Barb puts a
 picture in the photos area, I click the link to see it, if someone
 attached a picture, then it's just like getting an email with a picture
 attached.

 But then they all want you to use some password to protect your
 precious pictures, and I can't remember all those passwords.  If you
 don't mind all that bull, then Photosig is OK and has plenty of space.
 But the reason I quit using it was they wanted me to use some idiotic
 password crap they assigned, and I said to hell with them.  My six
 number and letter password is adequate for everything I've ever needed
 a password for.  Some silly web site now wants me to use a special to
 access their less than heroic attempts to get me to give them money
 and wants at least seven and not more than eleven, they are deleted out
 of my favorites list. Nothing on line that doesn't provide me with
 money or allow me to control what I have in the bank/brokerage deserves
 that kind of specialism.

 There were a few spams in the two groups, but none for a while now.
 Never ad a join my group request, but then I don't advertise myself as
 lonely and looking for someone to talk with either.

 Or if you let Outlook Express sort it for you, you could skim through
 reading only what is interesting to you.  Just the same way you would
 read a newsgroup.  Some of those real long dissertations that pop up
 lose me before the end too.

 I'm always online, but prefer to do messages on my PC the same as being
 offline, and not on the far ends whatever is provided systems.

 Oh, yes the new motherboard, CPU and Ram works fine with all my old
