Default What is the attachment policy for this news group?

I just sent you an innocent Screen Shot - in JPEG format - of my
current WU because it had an interesting trough appearing in the graph
at the bottom. I briefly saw the post appear in the list, but, it has
since disappeared from the list.

Is that because this news group does not accept any attachments,
regardless of format? How could a JPEG format attachment cause
problems? If so, how can I send the info to the scientists? I'm
almost sure they would like to see it.


You'll find that all non-binary newsgroups reject binary (e.g. picture)
attachments, and you may even be breaking the terms and conditions of
your own ISP. Old-fashioned, perhaps, in these days of broadband but the
rules are still there and many people don't have broadband. Your best
bet would be to put the picture on a web site if you have one or know
someone who does, or post to a binary group -
alt.binaries.pictures.astro, perhaps. They may say "not interested" but
they might be able to help.
