Pics in e-mails?

I currently receive e-mails for all threads I post in. If the latest post has pictures in it, I have to click on the link to go to the thread to view the picture. It would be nice if the picture came through the email too so I don't have to go to the site everytime.

I'm not positive and I'll check on it, but I'm pretty sure that would put a load on the email server that would make it cost prohibitive. Imagine somebody puts up a message with 10 pictures in it. With 18,000 registered members, even if only half of those have email notification turned on, that's 90,000 images sent via email for just one message posting. Craze!
