And perhaps it is not clear to the violaters - 

Some of us do not have the option of choosing not to download.  My mail
program is set to download all mail automatically.  (Even for those with
more flexible mail programs, embedded graphics are not as obvious as an
attachment.)

So, please, in consideration of those of us with slow Internet connections,
please, please, please omit the embedded graphics and the attachments.
Getting people pissed off at you is not a good way to promote your activities.
