I don't think so, the internet provider behind the MIT's Mailman is
rather smart. I'm sure, for 1000 Gmail accounts it won't send the
image 1000 times. These bulk mail players are forced to sit on special
internet providers, I believe.
Regardless of above, think of the image file as only a small fraction
of a percent of an flv, mp4 and other GByte multimedia files flying
back and forth all over the net.
