[Leica] New Rail road Album

[philippe.orlent at pandora.be (Philippe Orlent)]

Don't worry: I read them all.
But having a tag defining that a certain post contains images is  
certainly handy IMO.
An example: in the recent M8 back and forths, sometimes people post  
images to illustrate their point. Adding a tag to the subject in that  
case, makes it all a bit easier to not delete it right away.
After all: it surely can't be that complicated and time consuming to  
type 4 characters more in the subject line, or to add < and > beofre  
and after an URL. ;-)
