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.

Lots of ISP's strip the binary attachments to text groups. Post in
alt.binaries.pictures.fishing
and post a notice.

A lot of providers will not allow binaries in text news groups.

Still ain't no such thing. You can post it and it will post through.
What the individual servers do with them isn't the point.

Viewed it just fine.

Nice boat.

Is that your house in the background?

You guys up in Canadianisms don't have to register your sail boats as
motor boats when you put an engine on them?

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. :)

Nice boat, nice house. I like the one with the porch.

Note that Don used a third party to include a photo URL. You posted your
photo as an attachment. Big difference. I'm pretty sure the news servers
I use will not accept binaries, period, but, of course, will accept URLs.

Yeah, but I had to strip the IMG off before I could get the image.

Ok....enough for now. :)
