Go to the eGroups web site and change your subscription settings from
receiving HTML messages to receiving plain text messages. When you do you'll
still get ads, but they'll be text ads instead of the banners you don't
appreciate.

The LIST needs to be made non-HTML before the pieces will go away. I have mine set to no HTML - and still get the pictures. The LIST needs to be set to accept NO ATTACHMENTS - this will turn all the picture ads into simple typewritten ads as below:
