I believe that for most mail users, images are seamlessly integrated.
What doesn't end up seamlessly integrated in the e-mail feed is, I
believe, the images that originate at the forum software. (I just
checked, and one of the messages I recently sent with an image in it is
shown properly on the forum.)
The Forum posts used to do inline images, and other Nabble Fora do support
them,
but I suspect they are not types with an integrated external Mailing-list.
I believe it changed when Nabble only instantiated the posts after getting
them
back from the Mailing-list, I believe that was intended to fight Spam.
If there are any Mailman V2 specialists out there, perhaps you could assist.

Testing posting images from the forum...
First test: can't just paste an image.
Saving the image as a file and [Insert Image]...
<http://forum.openscad.org/file/t1912/deleteme.png>
Doesn't show the image, just adds an XML-style tag.
But shows it OK in preview.

I know I would be gone if the mailing list wasn't good enough. Forums
require you to choose to go to the forum, choose a top to read, etc. A
miasling list, you just read messages as they come in. I have way too many
things I am following to put that much attention into any one thing
I get the emails, and if any of them look interesting enough, I go to the
forum to read the thread, and to possibly comment. I have sent emails to
comment, but only a very few. I have no problem dealing with fora, and if I
could only have one or the other, I would choose the forum every time. I
would also like to say that I am no millennial, having built my first
computer in 1976, 10 years after getting into the computer field as a
technician.

Also, realistically, who many active users do we have on the mailing
list?
20? 50? We may very well be looking at survivor bias, ie a skewed result
because we are only asking the people who bothered to stay. Kind of like
how
they in WW2 checked where the bullet holes were in aircraft after
missions
to see which parts to harden with more armor, which, oddly enough were
non-vital parts, because they were checking the aircraft that got home,
not
the ones that didn't make it home.
Just for to test this hypothesis, I'll ask people on the OpenSCAD
subreddit
why they are there instead of the mailing list. It would be interesting to
hear their opinion.

OK, here's the result:

Some interesting points, draw your own conclusions.

Sure sounds like if we ask on a forum, people want a forum. If we ask
on a mailing list, people want a mailing list.

I asked earlier, but didn't get any responses, perhaps because it was at

the Thingiverse group, or the Facebook page? What is it that they lack

True, but the reasons are still interesting.

I don't really get that. I have 50 tabs open in my browser anyway, one more
or less does not matter.
