https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMailingLists#Posting_Rules.2C_Guidelines.2C_and_Tips 
says:

	"Do not submit an attachment larger than 10 KiB."

The functional gist of the entirety of both URLs includes keeping submissions 
modest in size. Images attached virtually always violate that precept.

> Nothing about "binary". Nothing about "nominal".

Binary is functionally implied. When was the last time you saw any software 
user/help mailing list post arrive with an image attached that was not many 
times 10KiB (10KiB is very roughly the average size of a debian-user mailing 
list post), or an attachment that was not an image? IME it rarely happens.

Nominal in the context used means modest, something that wouldn't burden the 
system by bloating an ordinary plain text email many orders of magnitude.

It does not mean liking abuse or never doing anything to dissuade abuse.
