There ain't no such thing. You can have moderated groups which will
clip out images, but for general Usenet groups, you can post pictures
whenever you like.

Cox strips binaries from the post in text only groups. So, those of us with Cox
missed out. What's a good news server that doesn't strip the binaries?

I've always used Easynews, but I just did a little research and it
would appear that some do strip binaries from text groups.

I apologize to all - all these years on Usenet and I wasn't aware of
that.

Oh well. :)

Don't feel too bad. Cox just started this about six months ago. Prior to that
binary attachments were everywhere. Now, if the group doesn't say 'binaries',
Cox has probably stripped the attachments.

alt.binaries.pictures.fishing is a pretty empty group that's good for posting
pictures of fishing related stuff, which boats (imho) are, of course.

You can post them all you like, sure. I (and I'm guessing Harry too) was
surprised because Individual.net doesn't carry binary groups and
therefore filters out all binary attachments.
