Breathtaking. And, not to worry, posting a link is not posting
a binary. Thanks for that story.

She did, in fact, post a binary jpeg image file which translated to
4600+ lines of useless ascii text. Since I know Barb would never
intentionally do such a silly thing, I naturally assumed it was just a
simple mistake.

No, Nancy * I posted the danged picture here instead of where it was
meant to go. Ugh! I canceled it as soon as I realized the mistake.
Here are a couple links to stories about the tree:

Boy, you got that right, nb! I canceled it as soon as I realized the
mistake. Ugh!

Darn, I didn't see that, I just saw a couple of links.

You probably, and correctly, have your prefs/opts set to NOT
automatically open images. Most M$ and gui readers would have no
problem with a binary image, but for users of text-only newsreader
clients, like mine, it's a nightmare. Fifty-six hundred plus lines of
random text takes a prohibitively long time to open.

Yeah, I remember before I knew I could set it up that way,
some WebTVer would post a cutesy sig and my dialup connection
would freeze up. Extremely annoying, that's a bad combination,
dialup and HTML. So I feel your pain. Are you stuck with that
newsreader?

Well, _I_ appreciated seeing that tree. Glad for your blooper.

Nobody is 'stuck' with *any* newsreader. There are always options to
change.

And I didn't think there were still people in the world on dial up.....
well, maybe in the backwoods of Outer Mongolia.

No problem, we knew it was an innocent mistake.

If all you saw was useless ASCII text, then your newsreader is not
set up to be able to view MIME attachments.

Speaking of news readers, thanks for that mess you got me involved
in over there in that other group :-) I didn't realize a couple of
those guys were such arrogant, narcissistic, petty assholes.

You probably just needed to click on the attachments icon somewhere
in your newsreader. Usenet-news.net does not strip binaries from
text-only groups. I saw it using the same server. But it was also
posted to alt.binaries.food (what, you mean you don't subscribe to
that? That's where all the cool people hang out).

Surely you can have it fork an X-window, right? Granted, you may
not want to do that. But for those in the binary group that is a
necessity.

I got to see it but I had to click on a link just like any time
people post pictures here ... the pictures weren't inline. This
is what I saw:

A couple stories here:

http://www.startribune.com/local/west/111165624.html

http://www.midwestenergynews.com/201...-to-the-world/

etc.

We talked it over and decided you're cool enough. Your invitation
code is in the mail, but you have been granted temporary access in
the meantime.

It has also just come to my attention that Eternal
September/Motzarella *does* carry alt.binaries.food in it's
entirety, including the binary posts. So other people do have free
access to it.

Thanks! But, I think it was rescinded. Believe it or not, I
don't have alt.binaries.food available. I'll drop them a note.

You're using Usenet-news and they do have it. I subbed but I forget to
check it most of the time. I think your problem is Microsoft Windows
Mail 6.0.6002.18197. I noticed when I was using Outlook Express it
didn't show all groups. I guess Windows Mail is doing that
sporadically, too.
