disable images in archive

Hi,

I run a very simple design, with only one post on the frontpage. My site has no graphics at all, and white background. So to spice things up, I have started to add some graphic to each post.

I sometimes post several times a day, so I fear the archives in the future will take a long time to load. (eg. 60 illustrations).

Therefore It would be neat if I could “disable images in archive view” under admin option.

In an ideal world I woud even be able to distinguish between “images” and “illustration”, such that illustrations (if the graphic is _needed_ e.g. a graph) would still show up, but the images (e.g. a pink teddy bear (?)) would be hidden.

Maybe the image holder could be shown, with an alt text = “this i image is hidden for bandwith due to bandwith limitations. Please click perm link to view image.”
