Attaching pictures in private messages?

Is there a reason why we can't attach pics to private messages?

Just store the picture somewhere (plenty of hosting possibilities) and provide a link.
If I'd own the forum, I wouldn't want to allow that feature either. People might abuse it, sending a lot of large pictures - and then the forum server needed a lot of disc space to host them.

I just host them on Imageshack and then use the [IMG]...[/IMG] tags.

I know I can host them elsewhere if necessary. Just wanted to know why it's not allowed.

I'd guess Tamas has the right of it. I'll see if I can find out what the rational is for you.
