That's really interesting. My news server (supernews.com) is allowing
me to upload binaries to non-binary groups but is not displaying them.
I assumed they were being deleted and not propogated but obviously
not. Thanks for the feedback.

Do you think it could be because you're using Agent?

===

No. I'm seeing Richard's binaries just fine, and you're seeing mine,
my Agent for both. Most likely it's because of Supernews but it seems
inconsistent.

You, Greg and I are using Agent and having no problems. Weird.

I seem to be able to post them but the only one I saw was Richards.
I tried with my old Agent and my new v.8, same thing. I also tried it
with the instance that I use for binaries in case it was just a
setting thing.

Has to be a server thing.

The strange thing is Richard uses Giganews and it works for him so it
is the interaction between Agent and Giganews. It may also be size
related since I only saw the one small schematic picture.
I will try a small one

Nope, an 80k JPG did not make the trip.
Maybe it was because it was an attachment to flat text and not
embedded in the original message as an HTML or something.

In the good old days with Giganews and others, you had to prep files
some before they were accepted. Maybe that has changed.

I have been using Giganews for 2 decades and I never have a problem
sending or receiving binaries from binary groups. Rarely I do see a
small image posted in a text group but it is rare.

To add to the confusion:

It only works for me when I view my own post with an attachment. I don't
see any other attached images from anyone else. Go figure.

The only thing I can think of (and it's a pure guess, not really knowing
how connections work) is that since I post and receive via Giganews,
the posts are not routed outside of the Giganews "network" so to speak,
so the attachments are not roadblocked along the way. But, since you
also use Giganews, that theory sorta goes out the window unless the
"path" from there to here goes outside of the Giganews server network
somewhere along the way.

I am going to try an experiment. I am now using the new, Win 10
computer. I'll fire up the Win 7 laptop (also has Thunderbird and
Giganews as a newsgroup reader/server. I'll attach an image to a post
using the laptop and then see if it arrives on the Win 10 machine.

I thought the only thing he saw was the picture he posted. Maybe Giganews allows the viewing of a
binary posted with Giganews.

OK, I give up. I wonder if Giganews, like Astraweb, has different servers with different 'rules'.
Astraweb has a US and an EU server. Right now I'm using the EU server 'cause I was having problems
with the US server.

My server only does text groups, and never see your attachments or embedded
picture. So whomever supplies Foreverseptember strips out jpg stuff.
